Indelec lightning protection system is dedicated to protect against:
1 direct lightning strikes:
the role of a lightning conductor installation is to protect buildings against direct lightning strikes by channeling the electric charge to earth. There exist four types of lightning conductor:
- early streamer emission lightning conductor
- single rod lightning conductor
- meshed cage lightning conductor
2 indirect effects of lightning strikes:
overvoltage arrester installations are designed to protect electrical equipment from momentary power surges caused by lightning. Surges of this kind can occur on all types of low-voltage mains, instrumentation, or computer networks.
They may be generated either by a direct lightning strike on the line in question, or by induction due to the high intensity electromagnetic fields given off by the flash.
