Ochrona odgromowa zabytkowych budynków drewnianych

This paper deals with problems of lightning protection of monumental wooden folk buildings with special concern for the architectural aspect. The authors suggest a new method of laying the down conductors on the buildings directly on the inflammable materials, because the standard lightning conductor system mounted on monumental buildings disturbs their monumental character. The correct solution in such cases may be reached exclusively by the cooperation of an architect and an electrical expert on lightning protection problems.
