> Research Three types of test allow lightning conductors to be characterized : Laboratory tests : Laboratory tests are performed using a generator to produce a standardized voltage wave. This wave reproduces the conditions required to initiate a rising tracer from a lightning conductor when a negative falling tracer approaches. This enables rising tracers generated by the lightning conductor to be characterized and ...                                                                                              See more In-situ tests – triggered strikes : Triggered strike tests are performed outside using a specially designed platform. Test campaigns are generally performed in areas that are particularly prone to lightning strikes, and are carried out at the most favourable time of year. Rockets are launched from a launch pad; trailing a wire connected to the ...                                                                                                See more In-situ tests – natural strikes : Natural tests simply consist of placing a measuring device at a location where there is a high probability of lightning strikes. The results obtained are indisputably the most realist, but are also the most difficult to obtain. There are bound to be fewer measurements obtained in these conditions.
