Key Components of a Lightning Protection System
A complete Lightning Protection System consists of several important components that work together to safely intercept and discharge lightning energy away from buildings and electrical equipment.
- Air Terminals – Capture lightning strikes at the highest points of the structure
- Down Conductors – Safely conduct lightning current to the ground
- Earth Termination System – Dissipate electrical energy into the ground
- Bonding Systems – Connect metal structures to prevent dangerous voltage differences
- Surge Protection Devices – Protect electrical systems from sudden voltage spikes
