A lightning protection system should be installed in a scientific manner to prevent lightning damage. This should be done after carefully studying the risk of each building. Based on this, the necessary protective measures are selected.
External Lightning Protection System should be installed to protect the house from direct lightning. Surge Protection Device should be installed to protect against Over Voltage Surge from power line. And all the metal parts of the building should be connected with special bonding system. All these require a special maintenance-free earthing system.
Lightning protection is a highly skilled field. It should be ensured that it is installed under the supervision of an engineer who has sufficient experience in this field. Equipment of national and international quality standards should be used for this.
LIGHTNING PROTECTION SYSTEMS is a prominent company operating in Kerala in this field for the last 10 years. Contact for more information.
The main components of a lightning protection system are:
Lightning Rods: Lightning Rods are used to redirect the path of lightning to the ground.
Lightning Conductors: Lightning Conductors are used to conduct the electricity from Lightning Rods to Earth.
Lightning Earthing: Lightning Earthing is used to spread the current from lightning conductors to earth.
Surge Protection Devices: Surge Protection Devices are used to protect devices from Over Voltage Surge from power line.
Bonding: Bonding of all the metal parts of the building with special bonding system helps to unify the path of lightning.
You should contact a suitable engineer to install a lightning protection system. After accurately studying the risk of your building, they will suggest the suitable system for you.
