7 things to consider designing lightning protection system — FAQs

Lightning protection design generally involves collecting structural data, assessing lightning risk, determining protection requirements, selecting the appropriate protection method and designing air terminals, conductors, earthing and bonding. JEF Techno Solutions Private Limited provides complete lightning protection system design and engineering.

Building dimensions, height, location, surrounding structures, occupancy, electrical systems and environmental conditions can influence the design. JEF Techno Solutions Private Limited uses project-specific information for lightning protection design and risk assessment.

The rolling sphere method is an engineering approach used to identify areas vulnerable to direct lightning attachment and help position lightning interception components. JEF Techno Solutions Private Limited considers applicable lightning protection design methodologies when developing LPS solutions.

A lightning rod or air terminal is only one component. A complete lightning protection system can include air terminals, down conductors, bonding, earthing and surge protection. JEF Techno Solutions Private Limited provides integrated LPS engineering rather than treating a single component as complete protection.

IEC 62305 is a major international reference for lightning protection. Applicable Indian standards and project-specific requirements should also be considered. JEF Techno Solutions Private Limited provides standards-oriented lightning protection engineering and LPS design.

Cost depends on building size, risk level, protection class, materials, earthing requirements, installation complexity and site conditions. JEF Techno Solutions Private Limited can develop a project-specific lightning protection design and material estimate after assessing the installation.
