Air Terminal Install Distance Table - 20140306revised

The document provides tables and formulas for determining the installation distance (d) and penetration distance (p) of air terminals for lightning protection based on the height (h) and radius (r) of the air terminal and the distance between down-conductors. It specifies four levels of protection, with Level I being the minimum requirement and Level IV providing the greatest level of protection. The tables provide the maximum allowable penetration distance p for different air terminal heights and radii at each protection level.
