Lightning Protection System
A Lightning Protection System (LPS) is a system designed to protect buildings, structures, and people from the dangers of lightning strikes. It typically consists of three main components:
1. Lightning Rods: These are installed on top of a building to attract lightning.
2. Down Conductors: These conductors safely carry the lightning current from the rods to the ground.
3. Earth Termination: This component ensures that the lightning current is safely dissipated into the ground.
This system helps to ensure the safety of buildings and individuals, especially during thunderstorms.
