LIGHTNING PROTECTION SYSTEM INSTALLATION
1. Introduction
- Professional design, supply, and installation of Lightning Protection Systems (LPS) for residential, commercial, industrial, and high-rise buildings.
- Ensures safety against lightning strikes, reducing the risk of fire, electrical surges, and structural damage.
- Installation includes PE (Professional Engineer) endorsement, Licensed Electrical Worker (LEW) provision, and full compliance certification.
2. Importance of a Lightning Protection System (LPS)
- Protects Buildings & Infrastructure – Prevents damage to roofs, electrical systems, and structures.
- Reduces Fire & Explosion Risks – Safeguards against direct lightning strikes.
- Ensures Safety for Occupants & Equipment – Shields people, electronics, and sensitive equipment from electrical surges.
- Compliance with Local Regulations – Required for high-risk buildings, industrial zones, and public facilities.
3. Types of Lightning Protection Systems
1. Conventional Lightning Protection System
- Consists of air terminals, down conductors, and earth grounding.
- Standard copper or aluminum lightning rods mounted on rooftops.
2. Early Streamer Emission (ESE) System
- Advanced lightning rod technology that attracts and neutralizes strikes.
- Offers larger coverage area, reducing the number of rods needed.
3. Surge Protection Devices (SPD) for Electrical Systems
- Prevents power surges and voltage spikes from damaging electrical appliances.
- Installed at main distribution panels and key power entry points.
4. Grounding & Earthing Systems
- Ensures proper dissipation of lightning current into the ground.
- Includes earth rods, grounding plates, and conductive backfills.
