After a Lightning Strike to Air-Termination System ESE Began to Burn Hotel
Original language description
A strike of lightning, with a lightning current peak value of 111 kA, into a rod or air-termination system ESE, situated on the roof of a hotel, was followed by its flashover from a down-conductor system into the object's inner installation. The hotel'sroof construction went up in flames immediately afterwards. The fire was extinguished thanks to early arrival of the units of professional and voluntary firemen. It was extremely fortunate that the hotel was shortly before its opening and, therefore, unoccupied by any guests. The overall damage totalled approximately 300,000 CZK. The hotel's lightning conductor had a valid inspection report.
