Earthing & Lightning
In order to provide complete Lightning Protection Systems all Protection Elements must be installed to the structure.
The function of a LPS is to protect structures from fire or physical damage and people from injury or death. A lightning protection system consists of an internal and external system. The function of the external system is to intercept the lightning, conduct it to ground and then dissipate the energy. The function of the internal system is to prevent dangerous sparking inside the building. The requirements for both these systems shall be established by conducting a Risk Assessment in terms of SANS 62305-2.
