Introduction
Hazardous location sites like chemical plants, refineries, fuel storage, pharmaceutical manufacturing, and process industries should have electrical safety systems that are engineered with utmost care. Lightning strikes may damage control units, measuring instruments, storage units, communication channels, and electrical machines. Lightning can also lead to electrical surges, instances of downtime, and other safety issues. That is why measures of ensuring good lightning safety for hazardous locations should cover both direct impacts of the lightning as well as high voltage transient electrical impacts.
