When Lightning Strikes – Science, Impacts, and Evaluation

Insurance CE Professional Engineering

Lightning is one of the most powerful forces of nature with voltages generally on the order of 300 million volts and amperages around 30,000 amps, enough energy to power a 100 W incandescent bulb for about 3 months.1 Understanding the impacts on equipment will give insurance adjusters more tools to be able to better evaluate damages and properly adjust a claim. This course will explore the science behind lighting and its impacts on equipment. This course will also discuss the evaluation of equipment that has been damaged by lightning or other power surges. Case studies will be presented throughout the course.
