Lightning Protection Systems

Advanced Protection for Electrical Power & Telecommunications Systems

A Lightning Protection System is a crucial device used on electrical power systems and telecommunications systems to protect the insulation and conductors of the system from the damaging effects of lightning. The typical lightning arrester has a high-voltage terminal and a ground terminal, designed to divert the massive electrical energy of lightning strikes safely to the ground.

Our comprehensive lightning protection solutions are engineered to safeguard your critical infrastructure, equipment, and personnel from the devastating effects of lightning strikes, ensuring uninterrupted operations and maximum safety compliance.

How Lightning Arresters Work

When a lightning strike occurs, the lightning arrester provides a low-impedance path to ground for the high-voltage surge, preventing it from flowing through the protected equipment. Once the surge passes, the arrester automatically resets to its high-impedance state, ready for the next event.

Key Components of Lightning Protection Systems

A complete lightning protection system consists of several critical components working together:

  • Air Terminals (Lightning Rods): Strategically placed rods that intercept lightning strikes
  • Down Conductors: Low-impedance cables that safely conduct lightning current to ground
  • Grounding Systems: Electrodes and ground enhancement materials that dissipate energy into earth
  • Surge Protective Devices (SPDs): Devices that limit transient overvoltages and divert surge currents
  • Bonding Conductors: Conductors that equalize potential between different metallic parts
  • Test Clamps: Devices that allow periodic testing of system resistance
  • Lightning Counter: Devices that record the number of strikes intercepted
  • Monitoring Systems: Real-time monitoring of system performance and integrity
