Environmental Potentials EP-2050
@tvad - it doesn't shunt to ground? Interesting, I've been installing lightening protection on oilfield devices recently, and they use heat from a surge to open a circuit to shunt to ground, using pretty heavy gauge wire.
This uses 14AWG, still reasonable amp and voltage handling, but doesn't shunt energy to ground (not even a distinct ground with different potential?). If it's not redirecting it, is it converting the energy?
Okay, you got me fascinated.

@ieales - kidding, I'm with you regarding lightening. And no, I don't have that crazy tent.

Anyone who thinks anything will handle a direct lightning strike is dreaming..Unless your nuts enough to try this bad boy out >
