Tapker Lightning Protection refers to a system or device designed to safeguard buildings, equipment, and electrical installations against the damaging effects of lightning strikes. Tapker lightning protection solutions generally include:
Air Terminals (Lightning Arrestors): Specially designed rods or early streamer emission (ESE) devices mounted on top of structures to attract and safely intercept lightning strikes.
Down Conductors: Heavy-duty copper or aluminum cables that carry the captured lightning current safely from the air terminal down to the ground.
Earthing System: A network of copper rods, earth plates, or conductive soil treatments that dissipate the electrical energy deep into the ground, ensuring safety and preventing damage.
