What Does A Commercial Lightning Protection Consist Of?

The same main components used to install residential lightning protection systems are also used for industrial, commercial, and government facilities and structures.

However, since these types of buildings are more extensive and complex than residential ones, their lightning protection systems will follow suit.

In addition, once the height of the building exceeds 75’ above grade, the required cables and components become significantly larger and heavier.

A typical HG Lightning Protection System for commercial buildings will include the following components:

 

  1. Air Terminals: Conductive rods placed on the highest points of the building to provide a path of least resistance for lightning to follow.
  2. Down Conductors: Heavy-duty cables that connect the air terminals to the grounding system.
  3. Grounding System: A network of conductive rods, plates, and cables that are buried in the ground to provide a safe path for lightning to discharge into the earth.
  4. Bonding System: A system of conductors that interconnect all conductive parts of the building to ensure electrical continuity and provide equal potential.
  5. Surge Protection Devices (SPDs): Devices installed at key points in the electrical system to protect sensitive electronic equipment from damaging voltage surges caused by lightning strikes.
  6. Monitoring and Testing: Regular monitoring and testing of the lightning protection system to ensure that it is functioning correctly.

The specific components used in a commercial lightning protection system can vary depending on the size, type, and location of the building, as well as the equipment it contains.
