June 9, 2026 · admin tdeLightning is one of the primary causes of disruptions and damage in industrial facilities, power plants, commercial buildings, and telecommunications infrastructure. In addition to causing physical damage to structures, lightning strikes can also damage sensitive electronic equipment and halt business operations.
A well-designed lightning protection system functions to safely capture, convey, and discharge lightning currents into the ground.
This system consists of an air terminal, down conductor, grounding system, and surge protection, working in an integrated manner to provide comprehensive protection for company assets. International standards such as IEC 62305 serve as a crucial reference in designing reliable lightning protection systems.
