Specifications include, but are not limited to: It should be noted there is an existing Surge Protective Device (SPD) on the main electric service disconnect switch which protects against surges or lightning strikes that come into the building on the electric service conductors but not if a lightning strike occurs downstream of the main switch. Based on discussions at the site with all involved the agreed upon lightning mitigation recommendations are as follows: 1. Provide a mast on the pump house with down conductors and ground rods to provide a sphere of protection over the Pump House. 2. Provide lightning arresters on the panelboards, RP-MG and RPS-MG, in the Pump House. However, while these recommendations are intended to minimize damage from lightning storms there is no guarantee they will eliminate the possibility of damage from lightning storms.
