A system and associated method for detecting lighting strikes on a wind turbine uses a plurality of lightning strike conductors that are connected to any combination of the wind turbine components. A common ground cable is connected to the conductors and to a wind turbine grounding system. A sensor is operatively configured on the common ground cable to detect current flowing through the cable from a lightning strike incident on any one of the receptors, with the sensor producing a signal proportional to the intensity of the lightning strike. |
