Ensure Complete Lightning Rod Protection for Your Facility
Ever since there has been any thought given to lightning protection the vast majority of that thought has been based on the premise that lightning is "an act of God" and as such should not , and indeed cannot, be influenced by man. By virtue of the same reasoning men were also told they could not fly, go to the moon, etc. If this premise is to form the basis of our design practice then the basis of lightning rod protection systems and technology will be limited by the resulting constraints and performance limitations. This principle is a remedial form of protection that treats the symptoms rather than the cause. Lightning rod protection technologies are designed to provide protection to structures against physical damage from lightning strikes. Various technologies are available to shield a facility from lightning. What is a lightning rod? The lightning rod has been used for over 200 years as a conductive metal rod mounted atop a roof. They route the lightning strike away
