Lightning Protection Systems
A sudden electrostatic discharge that occurs during a thunderstorm. This discharge occurs between electrically charged regions of a cloud (called intra-cloud lightning), between two clouds (CC Lightning), or between a cloud and the ground (CG Lightning). The function of a lightning protection system is to protect structures from fire or mechanical destruction and to prevent persons in buildings from getting injured or even killed. The lightning protection system includes a network of air terminals, bonding conductors, and ground electrodes designed to provide a low impedance path to the ground for potential strikes. An overall lightning protection system consists of external lightning protection (lightning protection/earthing) and internal lightning protection (surge protection).
