High voltage lightning grounding device
Grounding device insertion in wire termination cabinets and terminal block modification prevent lightning-induced high voltage transients from reaching inputs or outputs of solid state instruments and control systems. Installation minimizes wiring confusion and achieves 100 percent protection.

Ignition of Fuel Vapors Beneath Titanium Aircraft Skins Exposed to Lightning
Hot-spot and puncture ignition of fuel vapors by simulated lightning discharges was studied experimentally. The influences of skin coating, skin structure, discharge polarity, skin thickness, discharge current level, and current duration were measured and interpreted. Ignition thresholds are reported for titanium alloy constructed as sheets, sheets coated with sealants, and sandwich skins. Results indicated that the ignition threshold charge transfer for coated sheets, honeycomb, and truss skins is respectively about 200%, 400%, 800% that of bare alloy sheet of .102 cm (.040 in.)-thickness. It was found that hot-spot ignition can occur well after termination of the arc, and that sandwich materials allow ignition only if punctured.
