The delegates question, “What about the buried cables?”
What do we do about Lightning protection for buried cables in Lightning design?”
The question was not aimed at surge protection, but at physical protection of the cables from a direct lightning strike. And, before you say what? Yes, buried cables are at risk from direct strike attachments.
