OBSERVATION METHOD
The lightning surge current was observed at the
lightning rods on two telecommunication towers,
one leg of the towers, and a building pillar within
the building. Two kind of digitizing oscilloscopes
were used to measure the waveform. One was a

CONCLUSION
A dissipation array system (DAS) was installed in a
telecommunication building to investigate its
effectiveness and the lightning surges in the
building were observed.
