lightning attraction factor/coefficient Explanation: lightning attraction factor or lightning attraction coefficient 雷撃 【らいげき】 (n) being struck by lightning; 吸引 【きゅういん】 (n) absorption; suction; aspiration; attraction; 係数 【けいすう】 (n) coefficient; factor It would be nice to know the context, because 吸引 could mean "absorption" or "attraction". This must be some kind of numerical measurement to indicate how much the subject in question draws/attracts/absorbs lightning. Jim Breen's WWWJDIC Server |

Lightning strike attraction coefficient Explanation: Three out of the four Google hits for "雷撃吸引" (e.g., http://lightning.pwr.eng.osaka-u.ac.jp/saej/proceeding53.htm... used 雷撃吸引特性, not 雷撃吸引係数. 避雷器 is the usual term for lightning arrester (http://www1.kcn.ne.jp/‾tanii/kako/mukasi-2.htm) or lightning arrester (http://www.cisco.com/japanese/warp/public/3/jp/product /price/Aironet.html), and I would have sworn that it was 吸収 not 吸引, but I suppose "attracting" lightning (that is, away from the equipment to be protected) is equally as important as absorbing. the energy.
