I look at it as a lot of effort for a rare event - but boy! can that rare event be a dilly. As for the power rating, you should do a bit of research on the power generated by lightning. By comparison, your 1500 joules is a mouse-fart in a hurricane but as you point out the trade off is cost of replacement vs. cost of protection amortized by the frequency of the event. Good to see you back. -- Will Honea <whonea@whonea.net>
