Hey folks --
Thinking about how to safeguard against lightning --
I have a sub panel in my shop, connected to the main panel in my basement, about 150 feet away. I can flip the breakers on both panels, but I'm not sure if that's the best approach. If lightning strikes, can it "jump" across the breaker, for lack of a better phrase? The house and the shop have an iron bar in the earth next to each structure.
I know that Jim Baker unplugs some of his equipment when a bad storm comes through, wondering how others prepare for this potential shop/equipment disaster.
Thx,
Ned
