Copper Earthing for Lightning Protection

A Lightning Protection System (LPS) is a well known system that is designed to protect a structure or building and contents from damage caused by the intensely high voltage currents of a lightning strike((When voltage exceeding a 1,000,000,000 Volt Amps). This system acts like a Faraday cage for buildings. A LPS system performs a simple task and provides a specified path on which lightning can travel. A lightning protection system should include following elements, which work together to stop lightning damage. Air Terminals (Lightning Rods) Braided Conductor (Cable) Bonds to metallic bodies Ground Rods or Ground Plates Surge Arrestors
