A lightning protection system, also known as a lightning arrestor, is a system designed to protect buildings, structures and people from destruction, fires and explosions caused by lightning. It is a vital investment for all sites where people are present or economic activity takes place.
How does lightning protection work?
The working principle of lightning protection is simple but effective.
- Lightning interception: lightning receivers mounted at the highest points of the protected object catch the lightning.
- Create a path: Conductors, called power conductors, carry the lightning charge from the lightning receiver safely down the building.
- Grounding: A grounding system, made up of a network of electrodes buried in the ground, absorbs the charge and dissipates it.
Types of lightning protection systems
There are two basic types of lightning protection systems:
- Passive: These systems rely on lightning receivers and power conductors to naturally conduct the lightning's charge.
- Active: These systems use an early lightning detection device that ionizes the air and creates a channel through which the lightning is safely conducted.
Advantages of lightning protection
Installing a lightning protection system brings a number of benefits:
- Protection of people and property: lightning protection protects buildings, structures and people from destruction, fires, explosions and other hazards caused by lightning.
- Lightning protection can protect electronic devices from damage caused by lightning-induced surges.
- Peace of mind: knowing your site is protected from lightning gives you peace of mind and security.
