Thunderstorm
safety – What to do after a lightning strikes on a
lightning rod?
A
lightning protection system prevents a direct
strike on the structure, but it does strike the
lightning rod. Therefore, when a discharge occurs,
the entire lightning protection system must be
thoroughly checked and reset, as the integrity of
critical components (lightning rods, conductors,
connections, grounding, etc.) may be compromised.
Following a post-impact protocol ensures that the
system continues to function properly and the
installation remains protected.
