Frequently Asked Questions on Lightning Protection Systems
What is a lightning protection system? “There is no product or scientific method capable of modifying a natural phenomenon. Our lightning protection systems simply prevent a lightning to strike within the protected area.” Our lightning protection systems are designed to protect a facility and its contents from damage that will be caused if the intensely high voltage of currents from a lightning strike passes through it. Our system attempts to equalize the voltage between the clouds and earth within the area of protection thus preventing the lightning to strike. We understand that lightning can be unpredictable and our lightning protection system takes this into consideration. It’s so designed that if lightning does strike a structure, the high voltage currents will be first drawn into the lightning protection system and safely grounded before these currents cause any serious damage or harm.
