Lightning protection system types: The ultimate guide to lightning solutions
When discussing lightning protection systems, two main philosophies are generally distinguished. On the one hand, active protection uses an early streamer emission (ESE) lightning rod to anticipate and capture the lightning strike. On the other hand, passive protection relies on a meshed cage to enclose and secure a structure. The […]
The complete guide to the components of a lightning protection system
The components of a lightning protection system, also known as a lightning protection system (LPS), form a coordinated defense against direct and indirect lightning strikes. Think of it as a coherent system including lightning rods, down conductors, grounding, and surge arresters. Each element is crucial for intercepting, channeling, and then dissipating lightning effectively
