Enlighten Your Self on Lightning Protection
Lightning is a flash of light that accompanies a high-tension natural electric discharge in the atmosphere. Lightning strikes the ground over 300,000 times a year. Without proper protection, facilities are at risk from structural damage and production downtime. More importantly, their users are at r…
Why Lightning Safety is Important at Jobsites
Thunderstorms can be intense weather systems that make strong winds, heavy rain, lightning, and thunder. Powerful lightning strikes can hit trees, bodies of water, vehicles, and even buildings. Lightning can cause power outages, damage to structures, and possibly serious injury. Thus lightning safet…
Importance of Recertification of Lightning Protection Systems
One thing people struggle with is deciding how often to check their lightning protection systems. In many cases, they feel that because there has been no bad weather there is no need for a test. However, this is a bad decision. While it may not have been used, the components in the system can still …
Lightning Protection is Economical, Practical and Prudent
A lightning protection system is designed to protect a structure from damage due to lightning strikes by intercepting such strikes. It safely passes their extremely high currents to ground.
It is impossible to determine when or where lightning will strike, but the risk remains. Of the violent fo…
An Alternate Lightning Protection System
With the construction of higher structures in lightning prone areas, there has been a significant progress in the quest to improve the protection of these structures against lightning.
A lightning protection system protects a structure from a direct lightning strike.
To do this, an air termina…
Lightning Rod Protection – The Right Choice
Grounding and bonding are an integral part of any modern lightning protection system design. This is because lightning currents inherently want to ground. A lightning strike, which is intercepted by an air terminal, must have its current transferred to the earth safely and seamlessly.
Thus prop…
Simple Lightning Protection Solution for Every Industry
The powerful force of lightning can ignite fires in buildings, damage electrical equipment and electrocute humans and animals. Typically, lightning enters a building by striking a metal object on the roof, directly striking the building, hitting a nearby tree or structure (for example, a silo) that …

Lightning safety tips for every worker in the industry
Lightning is an occupational hazard that is often overlooked. Workers who are exposed to significant lightning risk include those who work outdoors in open spaces, on or near tall objects, or near explosives or conductive materials, etc.
Many lightning victims are caught outs…
Lightning Surge Protection Devices is the Right Choice for Your Industry
Can a lightning rod protect electrical and electronic devices?
No.
Lightning rods do not provide any protection against surges in voltage caused by lightning. Because the electrical installations are connected to the same ground as the lightning rod, part of the current can actually flow back into…
