Lightning Risk


Lightning strike, permanent danger

Lightning poses many dangers and can cause severe consequences (spectacular damage, fires, destruction, explosions, death, etc.).

To protect against these hazards, implementing a lightning protection system is required.

A complete lightning protection system consists of:

  • An outdoor lightning conductor (air terminal) installation to protect against direct lightning strikes.
  • An indoor surge protection installation to guard against indirect lightning effects.
  • Equipotential bonding connections to equalize potential and ensure comprehensive protection.
