Lightning Protection System

A lightning protection system offers a low resistance path to “Lightning Strike” up to ground where the enormous energy is then safely dispersed. There are two type of lighting protection system.

To understand difference between active and passive protection we should understand the previous lightning strike formation process. When it’s produced an electrical storm, its generated mostly in the bottom of the cloud on electric field with negative charge. At the same time, it appears a positive charge on the ground below the storm. When the electrostatic field is less than 8kV/m air is an insulator, but when it is equal to or greater can generate an electric arc (Lightning)
