Whats the principle of lightning? How protection against
lightning is achieved? Types of protection? How to select
the height of lightning spike? as per the area.
Answer Posted / will
Lightning occurs when the negative charged cloud and
positive charged clouds hit together.A flash occurs and it
tries to conduct through the atmosphere.
Protection through lightning is achieved by installting the
lightning arrestors at the top of the high rise buildings
and grounded separately.The grounding shall be separated
from the normal ground grid in the petrochemical plants.
We need not to select the height for the spike , when the
building or the equipment is proted by lightning arrestor ,
the lightning arrestor will take care, The surge will be
arrested by the lightning arrestor and current will
directly flow to the ground without causing any damage to
the equipment(Substation) or the high rise buildings.
