Interception
Air termination components are positioned to intercept lightning strikes as part of the selected protection design.
Technical B2B solutions for ESE and conventional lightning protection requirements, including air terminals, down conductors, lightning event counters, conductor accessories and project enquiry support.
Lightning can create high-current electrical and thermal effects that may damage structures, electrical systems and equipment, and may create dangerous potential differences. A properly engineered lightning protection system uses coordinated air termination, down conductor, bonding, earth termination and surge protection measures to provide defined paths for lightning current and reduce risk to the protected structure and its systems.
Effective protection depends on the complete system and installation quality—not only on the air terminal.
Air termination components are positioned to intercept lightning strikes as part of the selected protection design.
Down conductors provide defined routes to carry lightning current toward the earth termination system.
Bonding helps manage dangerous potential differences between conductive systems during lightning events.
Grounding and surge protection measures work with the external system to manage lightning and transient overvoltage effects.
