Conventional LPS

The most known system for protection from lightning is the conventional mesh conductor type lightning protection system which codes as NFPA 780. Which complies with IEC, IEEE and other international standards as well as BNBC standards

Design & Consultency

Expert team of engineers, and dedicated CAD designers are very focused on survey, assessment, creating quality CAD Design and Consulting the best solution for your facilities. Design and consultancy of lightning protection systems involve the assessment of the potential risks of lightning strikes on a particular structure and the development of a comprehensive protection plan to minimize the risks. Here are some of the key steps involved in the design and consultancy of lightning protection systems: 1. Risk Assessment: A risk assessment is the first step in designing a lightning protection system. It involves a detailed analysis of the structure to determine the risk of lightning strikes and the potential damage that can result from them. 2. Compliance with Standards: The design and consultancy of lightning protection systems must comply with relevant industry standards and regulations such as NFPA 780, IEC 62305, and BS EN 62305. The standards provide guidelines on the required protection levels and installation requirements for lightning protection systems. 3. Protection Plan: Based on the risk assessment, a comprehensive protection plan is developed. The plan includes the selection of appropriate lightning protection materials, the location and placement of lightning rods, the grounding and earthing system, and the surge protection devices. 4. Simulation and Analysis: Simulation and analysis tools such as lightning protection software are used to simulate lightning strikes and analyze the effectiveness of the protection plan. The simulations help to identify areas that require improvement and optimize the design of the protection system. 5. Installation and Testing: After the design and consultancy phase, the lightning protection system is installed and tested to ensure that it meets the required standards and provides the desired protection levels. The testing includes verifying the resistance of the grounding and earthing system and the surge protection devices. 6. Maintenance: Proper maintenance is required to ensure that the lightning protection system continues to provide effective protection over time. Maintenance includes regular inspections, testing, and repairs as needed. Overall, the design and consultancy of lightning protection systems require a detailed understanding of the potential risks and the application of best practices and industry standards to provide effective protection against lightning strikes.

Conventional LPS Materials

Conventional lightning protection systems use materials and technologies that have been in use for many years. Some of the key materials used in conventional lightning protection systems include: 1. Lightning Rods: Conventional lightning rods are made from copper or aluminum and are typically installed on the roof of a building. They are designed to provide a low-resistance path for lightning to travel to the ground. 2. Surge Protection Devices: Conventional surge protection devices, also known as surge arresters, are typically made from metal oxide varistors (MOVs) and are installed in electrical panels to protect against voltage surges caused by lightning strikes. 3. Grounding and Earthing Systems: Conventional grounding and earthing systems are made from copper or aluminum conductors and are buried in the ground around the perimeter of a building. They are designed to provide a low-resistance path for lightning to safely dissipate into the ground. 4. Lightning Detection Systems: Conventional lightning detection systems typically use specialized equipment such as lightning sensors and alarms to detect and warn of the presence of lightning in the area. 5. Accessories: Conventional lightning protection systems also require various accessories such as connectors, clamps, and brackets to properly install and maintain the system. While conventional lightning protection systems have been in use for many years and are generally effective, they have limitations in terms of their ability to provide extended protection zones and real-time monitoring capabilities. However, they remain a cost-effective and reliable solution for many lightning protection needs.
