How lightning protection is performed.

Lightning protection for the home.

The main goal of creating an effective lightning protection system is the removal of a lightning trajectory and protection against the likely consequences of its hit. The device of lightning protection is simple, but well performs the task of redirecting the lightning trajectory from the roof to the ground along the wall.

Lightning protection is a system consisting of: a) a lightning receiver, the task of which is to accept the category; b) a current removal of lightning energy; c) a grounding electrode taking the discharge and extinguishes it in the ground.

Quite a lot of people are convinced that reliable lightning protection can be provided, only by installing a long metal pin near the house. This, in their opinion, is a grounded lightning rod. In fact, this opinion is not just erroneous, often independent installation of such systems can have a sad finale. Reliable lightning protection can only be provided by professionals who have both deep knowledge of physicists and experience. Each house requires completely different from other lightning protection systems.

Lightning rod (lightning rod) is intended to protect various buildings from lightning categories and overvoltage into the network. In fact, lightning protection is a really simple device that makes a lightning reception, and then ensures the grounding of the discharge, thereby providing the complete safety of people and the safety of the building. The elements of the thunderbone are connected in a special way with each other, and then installed on the structure. The installed lightning can be intercepted by the discharge of lightning using a lightning receiver, then the charge by current “goes” into the ground.

In the lightning protection and grounding system, wire is used: it can be aluminum, copper, steel galvanized; A galvanized cable is also used (rope).

Advantages of lightning rod:

appearance – aesthetic;

The service life is long;

If desired, you can combine lightning rod with lighting reinforcement.
