Lightning Protection Systems Explained: How They Safeguard Your Infrastructure

Lightning strikes can cause catastrophic damage to buildings, electrical systems, and human life. A proper lightning protection system (LPS) intercepts and safely discharges lightning energy into the earth.

Components of Lightning Protection System

Air Terminals (Lightning Rods)

Down Conductors

Earthing System

Surge Protection Devices (SPD)

Lightning Strike Counters

How It Works

Lightning energy is captured by air terminals and guided through conductors to the grounding system, safely dissipating into the soil.

Benefits

Prevents fires and explosions

Protects electrical equipment

Ensures operational continuity

Reduces insurance risks

Importance of SPD

Surge Protection Devices prevent internal damage caused by transient voltage spikes.

Conclusion

An integrated lightning protection system ensures maximum safety. Fullseuk provides complete solutions for both new and retrofit projects.
