Lightning Rods and a Lightning Protection Solution

  Lightning is the most powerful display of electrostatics in nature. We all like to crowd around windows to watch the lightning display in the sky, standing in awe of the power of static discharge. Indeed, a lightning strike is a beautiful sight to see, but behold it can also cause an equally devastating effect. Its rage can wake a person up in the middle of the night and the fury can interrupt midday activity not to mention the loss of personal life and property.  Here at  Lightning Eliminators and Consultants Inc. , we strive to protect the devastating effects of a lightning strike through lightning rods. When a lightning rod is struck, it allows a lot of electrical currents to flow through it into the ground. This saves the protected area from any damage due to over surge or heat. A lightning rod along with the entire lightning protection system is designed to: -    Intercept lightning flash -    Dissipate the lightning energy  into the ground with minimum rise in ground potential
