Lightning in Midrand
Posted: Mon Dec 13, 2010 11:56 am
Guys, I need to know if we had any lightning strikes / thunder storms, in Midrand around 13H00 until 14H00 on the 22 Nov 2010. Google can’t help
Hi Slider
the following link gives the weather data for midrand

scroll down to 13:00 - 14:30 my assumption is that there was a major storm with the wind gusting up to 66 kph, temperature drop of 9 deg and up to 11mm rain, clearing from at 14:30 ==> thunderstorm ==> lighting
We proved it was NOT that, so the supplier came up with a solution......... “an Analogue telephone connecting from the outside conducted lightning into the until”. Keep in mind that ONLY half of the equipment was lost for the 18 seconds and NOTHING ells. I just needed to see if any storm activity was causing this. I still cant see this being the cause of the failure. A well, as long as they don’t blame my facility, and they are happy, its fine with me
