One aspect of the invention provides a system including: a length of energy-dissipative tubing; a first sealing device coupled to a first end of the length of energy-dissipative tubing; and a second sealing device coupled to a second end of the length of energy-dissipative tubing. Exposure to one or more selected from the group consisting of: fault currents or lightning strikes at an exposure point along the length of energy-dissipative tubing will produce arcs at the exposure point and at least one of the first end and the second end.

Presented and described is a hose system, having a hose (1) that extends between a first and a second end (3, 7), wherein the hose (1) has a wall (9), wherein a conductor element (11) is recessed in the wall (9) and extends between the first and the second end (3, 7), wherein the conductor element (11) is formed from an electrically conductive material having a temperature-dependent specific resistance, and wherein the conductor element (11) has a first electrical connection (19) and a second electrical connection (21) that are spaced apart along the conductor element (11), and having a measuring device (23) that is connected to the first and to the second electrical connection (19, 21) and is designed to generate an output signal from an electrical signal that is detected between the first and the second electrical connection (19, 21), which output signal is a measure of the electrical resistance of the conductor element (11) between the first electrical connection (19) and the second electrical connection (21).
