NOTES: 1. An equalization bus is used on the interior of the huU as the termination for secondary conductors and bonding
conductors. The primary conductor is connected directly to the immersed ground plilte or strip. See E-4. 9.
2. AU otherwise isollded bare metal objects within six feet (1. 8m) of a lightning conductor shaU be connected to
the lightning protection system with a minimum #6 AWG (13.3mm
2
)
bonding conductor.
3. The probability of a lightning strike varies with geographic location and the time of the year. When the
conditions that create an electrical charge between clouds and the earth exist, there is nothing that can be done to prevent
the lightning discharge. A boat can be struck in open water or while tied to the dock.
