Lightning Protection Measurements

Lightning is the phenomenon of the rapid discharge of electrical charges between the earth and the clouds. Lightning protection systems are installed in buildings to eliminate or at least minimize the harmful effects of lightning caused by human health and property safety. Lightning rod, Faraday Cage or similar lightning protection systems protect buildings and areas where they are installed against harmful effects caused by lightning.

Among the lightning protection systems, the most commonly used system is active lightning rods. These lightning rods work with an early flow warning system. It is widely used today as it provides both easy installation and effective protection. The Faraday Cage consists of three parts: the catch tip, the down conductor and the grounding system. This system is installed at certain distances to the area to be protected. However, installation costs are high. Nevertheless, Faraday Cage is also used today as it provides very effective protection.

The correct operation of the installed systems depends on regular checks. According to the Regulation on Health and Safety Conditions in the Use of Work Equipment, lightning rods must be measured and controlled in periods of maximum one year.

Our company within the framework of electrical safety examinationsconducts lightning protection measurements in accordance with the relevant regulations, standards and test methods published by domestic and foreign organizations. These standards are based on a few standards:

  • TS EN 62305-1 Lightning protection - Part 1: General rules
  • TS EN 62305-2 ... Section 2: Risk management
  • TS EN 62305-3 ... Section 3: Physical damage to buildings and life-threatening
  • TS EN 62305-4 ... Section 4: Electrical and electronic systems in buildings
  • TS EN 62561-1 Lightning protection system components (YKSB) - Part 1: Specification for fasteners
  • TS EN 62561-2 ... Part 2: Specifications for conductors and grounding electrodes
  • TS EN 62561-3 ... Part 3: Specification for spark-jumper insulation gaps
  • TS EN 62561-4 ... Part 4: Specification for conductor connectors
