Lightning Protection System (LPS) is designed to safeguard buildings, industrial facilities, and sensitive equipment from lightning strikes and high electrical currents. By directing lightning current safely to the ground, this system minimizes the risk of fire, equipment damage, and threats to human life.
Lightning protection systems are classified into several main types based on design and functionality:
1. Rod Type / Franklin Rod:
The most common type, using a pointed metal rod to channel lightning current safely into the grounding system.
2. Mesh Type / Faraday Cage:
Used for buildings or large surfaces, this system creates a network of conductors across the roof, protecting the entire structure from lightning.
3. Early Streamer Emission (ESE):
Advanced technology that initiates electron discharge earlier than natural lightning, providing a larger protection zone.
4. Cable / Strip Type:
Ideal for tall structures and bridges, this system uses cables and conductive strips to safely transfer lightning current to the ground.
With over 30 years of experience in the design, installation, and maintenance of lightning protection systems, Petunia employs all types of protective systems in compliance with international standards, ensuring complete safety for your facilities.
