An effective lightning protection system is mainly composed of two forms (i.e., internal and external) of protection systems, depending on their functionality. External lightning protection systems include different design methodologies to protect structures or buildings, as well as open areas and people from direct lightning strikes.
A lightning Protection System (LPS) is designed to protect a structure or building and contents from damaged caused by the intensely high voltages and currents associated with a lightning strike (currents may exceed 100 kA). Whilst the design requirements of a lightning protection system may be complex, a typical LPS acts like …
According to the National Weather Service, lightning causes over $1 billion in property damages every year in the United States. Installing lightning protection can help prevent these costly losses.
