A lightning protection system typically consists of several components designed to mitigate the impact of lightning strikes on structures and equipment. Here’s an overview of what such a system might include:
- Air Terminals (Lightning Rods): These are metal rods mounted on the highest points of a structure. Their purpose is to intercept lightning strikes and provide a path for the lightning current to travel safely to the ground.
- Conductors (Downconductors): These are metal cables or rods that connect the air terminals to the grounding system. They provide a low-resistance path for the lightning current to travel from the air terminals to the ground.
- Grounding System: This consists of metal rods or plates buried in the ground around the structure. Its purpose is to safely dissipate the lightning current into the earth, preventing damage to the structure and its occupants.
- Bonding: This involves connecting all metal components of a structure together to ensure they are at the same electrical potential during a lightning strike, reducing the risk of damage from side flashes or arcing.
- Surge Protection Devices (SPDs): These are installed at various points in the electrical system to protect equipment from damage caused by lightning-induced power surges. SPDs divert excess voltage to the ground, safeguarding sensitive electronics.
- Transient Voltage Surge Suppressors (TVSS): These devices are similar to SPDs and are often used to protect individual pieces of equipment from electrical surges, such as those caused by lightning strikes.
The specific design and layout of a lightning protection system will depend on factors such as the size and structure of the building, local lightning activity, and applicable building codes and standards. Additionally, lightning protection systems may be supplemented with additional measures, such as lightning arrestors and shielding, depending on the level of protection required.
