Lightning Protection Solutions: Understanding the Role of Air Terminals and Surge Protection Devices
Lightning is a powerful natural phenomenon that poses a significant risk to buildings and structures. Proper lightning protection solutions are crucial to mitigate the destructive effects of lightning strikes. In this blog, we will explore the importance of air terminals and surge protection devices in lightning protection systems, including the role of ESE lightning arresters and how they contribute to safeguarding buildings and equipment. Lightning Protection: An Overview Lightning protection systems redirect lightning strikes and provide a safe path for the electrical current to follow, thereby preventing damage and protecting occupants. These systems include air terminals (lightning rods), conductors, grounding systems, and surge protection devices. Air Terminals (Lightning Rods) Air terminals, or lightning rods, are integral components of lightning protection systems. They are strategically plac...
