Lightning & Earthing
Why Is Lightning Protection Important?
Without a lightning protection system in place, a facility is vulnerable to the destructive effects of electrical surges caused by lightning strikes. These surges can damage equipment, pose a fire hazard, and increase the risk of electric shock. By implementing a lightning protection system, the electrical current from a strike is safely directed away from the facility, reducing the risk of damage and secondary effects. While there may be initial costs associated with installing lightning protection, it is a proactive measure that can prevent costly equipment damage and potential safety hazards in the long run.
