Abstract	A comprehensive analysis on shielding against lightning is presented. For an air terminal, the design of its protection zone and collection volume is introduced on the basis of simple working relationships which take into account, besides lightning parameters and air terminal height, the interception probability and use as a reference the striking distance to earth surface. The analysis, based on lightning scale-model experimental results, includes a comparison with previously reported models and field data; a satisfactory agreement is found. Lightning incidence calculations have been performed on the basis of lightning interception probability; a close conformity between the actual and calculated number of lightning strikes exists. Both striking distance and interception radius and their statistical nature should be considered for an accurate description of lightning interception.
