Lightning protection became essential with the development of tall buildings and electronics. From Faraday's cages to modern systems based on EN standards, technology has enabled more precise risk control – which today forms the foundation of reliable solutions.
Why Are Lightning Protection Systems Indispensable?
A direct lightning strike can cause:
Quality protection not only safeguards the building but also its function – especially critical in industrial plants, telecommunications, and energy sectors.
EN Standards
The purpose of lightning protection systems is to protect buildings from direct lightning strikes. A lightning strike to buildings is hazardous for people, the building itself, its contents, and installations. The protective measures outlined in the EN 62305 series of standards have proven to be very effective in reducing risks. Based on the EN 62305 standard, the design, implementation, and maintenance of installations and systems for protection from atmospheric discharges are carried out, regardless of the building’s height. These standards are intended for designers, contractors, and individuals who inspect and test lightning protection installations. The second part consists of seven EN 62561 standards related to installation elements for protection against atmospheric discharges. Materials and components for lightning protection systems must be designed and tested for electrical, mechanical, and chemical loads (e.g., corrosion) that can be expected during use. This applies to all components.
Why is this important? Even the smallest mistake in a component can disable the entire system.
