Lightning Protection for Industrial Plants
Industrial plants protect against lightning strikes with IEC 62561-compliant systems: air terminals, down conductors, and a dedicated earth-termination network that safely conducts strikes to ground, integrated with the plant earthing per IS 3043.
Why It Matters
Lightning Protection in Industrial Plants
Industrial facilities — with tall structures, flammable materials, and sensitive electronics — face serious lightning risk. A lightning protection system (LPS) intercepts strikes via air terminals on the highest points, conducts the surge down dedicated conductors, and dissipates it through an earth-termination network. Surge protective devices guard connected electronics. The LPS is bonded with the plant earthing grid.
Finish guidance: IEC 62561 components; bonded with common earth grid.
