Lightning strikes may not only cause damage to business systems and facilities but they can also present significant risk to personnel safety, rendering protection measures crucial to limit potential destruction.
Grounding and Lightning protection system
OVERVIEW
Lightning can cause significant structural damage and failure of electrical systems with the additional potential to cause injury or loss of life.
However, protective measures can be introduced to existing or prospective structures to help mitigate the hazardous effects of lightning strikes.
This introductory course offers delegates a thorough overview of lightning protection whilst providing a vital understanding of the physics behind this natural phenomenon.
The information provided during the day will enable delegates to effectively assess the different methods of protecting infrastructure and electrical systems.
An overview of the current lightning protection standards will be discussed in addition to defining earthing practices and measurement requirements to ensure compliance with international standards.
