Lightning loop

A lightning loop (also known as lightning loop ) is the ring-shaped formation of the supply line from the voting house to a self-radiating transmitter mast that is isolated from ground . The flash loop reduces its inductance in the case of a lightning strike, the slew rate of the voltage in the elements in Abstimmhaus and causes skipping of the flash at the spark gap at the feet of masts before elements of the transmitter by dangerous overvoltages are jeopardized.
