Lightning Rod Systems
Lightning rod systems are systems that protect us from lightning. Its other name is already lightning defense. The electric currents caused by lightning strikes are transmitted to the ground thanks to the lightning rod and there is no damage to the structure where the lightning rod is located. In this way, safety of life and property is ensured.
Lightning rods are installed in places close to the sky. The lightning rod protects a certain diameter area where it is located.
Lightning, a high-voltage electrical discharge, occurs as a result of natural phenomena. In fact, technically, lightning strikes are the movement of negative and positive electric charges between the cloud and the ground from the cloud to the ground or vice versa, depending on their position. This is what lightning is.
Lightning strikes very violently. There is a high electric current. The energy released when lightning strikes can be more than 1000 Joules. Lightning has a flammable and burning effect. This effect is very serious.
Lightning protection systems protect you from this unwanted situation. Building a lightning rod can also be considered as a kind of grounding.
In the lightning rod system, there are elements such as catch rod, down conductors, fittings, pole.
As Ekin Enerji, we realize lightning protection systems for you, and we carry out the process from the planning of the work to the completion of the work with great precision. It is very important that the lightning rod is always in working condition. For this reason, attention should be paid to the maintenance of lightning rods, from the first installation, situations that may cause problems in the future should be paid attention to during the construction phase and action should be taken accordingly.
