ABSTRACT:
Apparatus for protecting a plurality of electrical components. In a preferred embodiment, the apparatus comprises a shell formed from an electrically conductive material. An access door is provided in the shell for selectively gaining access to the electrical components. The shell is equipped with grounding apparatus for conducting electrical current created when a lightning strike communicates therewith to a ground. The shell is also equipped with a magnetic shield for substantially shielding the plurality of electrical components from electromagnetic fields created in the shell as a result of electrical current passing therethrough.
