Zusammenfassung:	PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method and apparatus for limiting the flow of electric current, induced by an event such as lightning or an electrical fault, along a fluid transport system and allowing static dissipation along the fluid transport system.SOLUTION: A selected electrical configuration 114 of a fluid transport system 100 may be selected such that voltage and current induced in a fluid transport system 100 in response to an electromagnetic event such as lighting is constrained to within selected tolerances. Still further, the selected electrical configuration 114 may be selected to allow dissipation of electrostatic charge that may build up along a plurality of transport members 110 during operation of an aerospace transport means 106.
