How many circuit breakers would a lightning strike trip?
Generally circuit breaker is not designed to trip off in the event of lightning. The system has lightning arrestors which reroute the lightning effect to earth instantly. If there are no lightning arrestors then the equipment are likely to fail upon a lightning strike.
Is it possible for sheet lightning to strike a person?
No, it is not possible for sheet lightning to strike a person. Sheet lightning refers to the illumination of a widespread area of the sky due to a distant thunderstorm. It does not actually involve a physical discharge of lightning that can strike objects or people.
Can lightning strike through a roof?
maybe!
Who discovered that electrical currents do not need electrical wire to flow through?
The first person to get killed by a lightning strike.
Why lightning arrestor should be placed near transformer?
A lightning arrestor acts to reduce a voltage surge due to, for example, a lightning strike on a power line. This will protect the transformer from an over-voltage acting to break down its resistance. A lightning arrestor is connected between each line conductor and earth. Under normal voltage conditions, it acts as an insulator, but when a critical value of over-voltage is reached, it conducts -suppressing the voltage spike.
Can lightning strike a person through a window?
Not really.

Can lightning strike a surfer?
Yes. Lightning CAN strike anything.
Why doesn't lightning strike ships?
Lightning does strike ships.
Can lightning or electricity strike without a conductor?
Yes ... sort of. Without a conductor the voltage must be high enough to jump the gap. With lightning this happens all the time (the voltage is massive), but seldom happens with commercial power supplies.
True or false. a high transient voltage exists close to a lightning strike or when large loads are switched off.?
True
What is Lightning impulse withstand voltage?
The instantaneous voltage rating of a given insulation sytem. In the case of a lightning strike, it is very high voltage but only for a split second. The insulation is designed to handle this rated voltage for a split second without damage to the apparatus. Any longer, and damage would result.
When was The Lightning Strike created?
The Lightning Strike was created on 2008-10-24.
