Hello all this is a nice forum i read it daily i am a industrial maint. electrician i dont do much residential , But for a neighbor i went to check his well pump after a lightning strike on a tree 50 yards away? well he had 240 on the pressure swtch and no pump so i ohmed it and yep wide open i had too go too work so he called a plumber but any way? I know its all theory but would did the current do when it traveled down the tree too the ground? Did it dissipate into all directions or find a path such as a well pump casing and finally can anything be done too stop it from happening again any hello from louisiana and all be safe bye
