Safeguarding structures and facilities from lightning hazards with advanced grounding solutions.
Lightning is a powerful natural phenomenon that can cause serious damage to buildings and people. A lightning protection system is designed to protect a structure from damage due to lightning strikes by intercepting such strikes and safely passing their extremely high currents to ground. It diverts the lightning current safely to the ground, reducing the risk of fire, shock, and equipment failure.
The system includes a network of air terminals, bonding conductors, and ground electrodes designed to provide a low impedance path to ground. There are different types of lightning protection systems, such as conventional air terminals, early streamer emitters, charge transfer systems, and dissipation arrays. Lightning protection systems need to comply with the standards and regulations of the country or region where they are installed, and they need to be regularly inspected and maintained.
