Abstract

Abstract. Indonesia is located in the tropics with an Iso Kraunic Level (IKL) of 200 strikes / km2 / year, with a relatively large risk of loss. The introduction of planning and installing a lightning protection system (SPP) was carried out for young people around the Mataram University Campus environment and was also attended by students and alumni of the Mataram University electrical engineering department. The selection of the topic and target of this activity was due to problems including (1) Lack of public understanding of the lightning phenomenon, (2) There has been no attempt by related parties to socialize ways to reduce the risk of lightning strikes, (3) Lack of public understanding of the procedure and planning for system installation external lightning protection (SPP).
