Understanding Earthing and Lightning Protection Systems
Earthing System:
An earthing system provides a safe path for the dissipation of electrical faults and lightning strikes into the ground. It involves the installation of conductors, rods, and electrodes buried deep into the earth. These components efficiently disperse electrical currents, preventing damage to equipment and ensuring the safety of occupants.
Lightning Protection System:
Lightning protection systems consist of air terminals (lightning rods), conductors, and grounding electrodes. The air terminals attract lightning strikes, diverting them safely away.
