It provides a practical m ethod for engineers and architects to design lightning protection systems to shield their high priority assets from direct strikes. This presentatio n will go over the need for this method and will teach engineers how to ap ply the method to substations per IEEE Std. 998 and NFPA 780. While the pr esentation focuses on protecting substations\, the concepts can be univers ally applied to any asset since lightning does not discriminate.\n\nCo-spo nsored by: Sharan Kalwani\n\nSpeaker(s): Biren Patel\, \n\nVirtual: https: //events.vtools.ieee.org/m/275447 LOCATION:Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/275447 ORGANIZER:robert.demelo@ieee.org SEQUENCE:3 SUMMARY:Rolling Sphere Method of Lightning Protection for Substations - IEE E Std. 998 and NFPA 780 URL;VALUE=URI:https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/275447 X-ALT-DESC:Description: <br /><p>The Rolling Sphere Method is a direct appl ication of the Electrogeometric Model (EGM) for lightning protection.
