Thunder lightening is very dangerous for towering buildings. The rate of voltage in thunders is excessively high and hence there is requirement of systems to be installed that protect the structure from demolishing.

In market, there are various types of Lightning Protection System available that are ideally designed to meet the varied needs of the perspective buyers. These systems, when installed, provide a strong support to the building against the thunder. In case of striking of thunder with the building, these systems, collects the electric current and safely passes it to the ground, without affecting the structure of the building.

The Lightning Conductor systems are designed with a network of ESE (Early Streamer Emission) lightning rods, metal conductors, ground electrodes and 70 sq mm copper down lightning conductor. All these help in providing a low resistance path for the potential strikes to ground. Moreover, some of the points that one should keep in mind before purchasing the systems are:

•    The systems should be CPRI tested.
•    Provide protection up to the area of 107 miters.
•    Guarantee of about 5 years should be there with the system.
•    Easy to install.
•    Low maintenance cost.
