Lightning Protection Study

A lightning protection study assesses a building’s vulnerability to lightning strikes and ensures compliance with safety standards like IEC 62305 and OISD-GDN-180.

Purpose

  • Determines if a building is protected from lightning.
  • Ensures that lightning currents safely flow to the ground.
  • Prevents structural damage and safety hazards.

Key Components

  • Air Terminals (Lightning Rods) – Installed at high points to attract lightning.
  • Conductors – Metal cables that direct lightning energy to the ground.
  • Grounding System – Safely disperses lightning currents into the earth.
  • Surge Protection Devices (SPDs) – Protect electrical systems from voltage surges.
  • Equipotential Bonding – Reduces voltage differences caused by lightning strikes.
