Lightning Protection

A series of paths that function as a path for lightning to reach the earth's surface, without damaging objects in its path.

System and Product Information

Lightning Protection Systems (LPS) are systems designed to protect buildings, infrastructure, and people from the damaging effects caused by lightning strikes. Lightning is a natural phenomenon that occurs when the electrical charge in the atmosphere reaches a very high level and is then released through a strike to the ground. Lightning strikes can cause serious damage to buildings, electronic devices, and even threaten life.

Therefore, LPS is very important to be installed in various buildings, be it residential homes, commercial buildings, or industrial infrastructure. This article will discuss in detail the meaning of LPS and its benefits.

How Lightning Protection Systems Work

Lightning Protection works on the principle of providing a low-resistance path for lightning current to flow to the ground. When lightning strikes, a very large electric current will flow through the lightning rod, then through the down conductor, and finally discharged to the ground through the grounding system. By providing this path, Lightning Protection prevents lightning current from passing through parts of buildings or electronic devices, thereby avoiding damage.
