Since having built a stand alone building next to the main house, every single time lightning strikes in the area, the earth leakage trips at the new building's DB (the new DB is fed from the main house, which is unaffected by any lighting strikes). This has been ongoing for the past 8 years and happens ONLY when lightning strikes. Is there a possible solution for this? I'm considering installing a double pole surge arrester in the DB, but not sure if this will solve the problem. Any ideas?
