What is Lightning Protection System?
A lightning protection system has different parts that work together to keep buildings safe from lightning strikes. These parts help catch the lightning, carry the electricity safely, and send it into the ground. This helps prevent damage to the building and anything inside it. Here are the main parts usually found in a lightning protection system
Lightning Arrester:
A protective device that intercepts high-voltage lightning surges and safely diverts them to the ground, preventing damage to buildings, electrical systems, and equipment.
High Mast Pole:
A tall lighting structure typically 12 to 30 meters high, used to illuminate large outdoor areas like highways, stadiums, and industrial zones with minimal shadow and wide coverage.
Down Conductor:
Connect the Lightning Arrester to the Earthing system and provides a low-resistance path for the lightning current to flow safely towards the ground.
Strike Counter:
Records the each occurrence of lightning strike event.
Earthing System:
It serves as the final destination for the lightning current, allowing it to disperse harmlessly into the earth.
High Mast Pole
A high mast pole is used to mount the Lightning Arrester. It plays a crucial role in safeguarding structures, equipment, and personnel from the destructive effects of lightning strikes. As per NFC 17-102 (2011) distance between Lightning Arrester and mounting surface should be minimum 2 meters. However, height of high mast pole can be customized as per site requirements, to obtain better radius protection.

Δ T = 30 μS (Triggering Time). No external power required, Made from 316L Stainless Steel which makes it suitable for any environmental condition.
Down Conductor Cable
The primary function of a down conductor in a lightning protection system is to provide a low-resistance path for the lightning current to safely flow from the air terminals (lightning rods) to the grounding system. It plays a crucial role in guiding the immense energy of a lightning strike away from the structure, minimizing the risk of damage and protecting the occupants and equipment.
Electrochemical Based Strike Counter
The lightning strike counter is adequately designed to count & record the number of lightning strike events on the connected Lightning Arrester. The Strike counter is connected with the down conductor of the lightning arrester and therefore it sense the electromagnetic waves caused by lightning discharge current on air terminal and records the each occurrence of strike and shows the number of lightning events.
Digital Strike Counter
Digital Strike Counter records the time and date of the lightning event, which is displayed on the LCD screen.
Virtually maintenance-free, with all key components stored in a robust weatherproof (IP65) housing.
Anticipated battery life of up to 5 years, for reliable, long-standing performance.
Records lightning strikes regardless of the polarity of the discharge current.
What is Earthing/Grounding System?
The primary purpose of an earthing system is to provide a low-resistance path for fault currents, such as those caused by electrical faults or lightning strikes, to flow into the ground. By redirecting these currents away from sensitive equipment and structures, an earthing system helps prevent electric shock, fire, and damage to electrical components. The key features of an earthing system include:
Electrical Safety Fault: Prevents hazards like electric shocks or fire by safely redirecting fault currents away from users and equipment during insulation failures or short circuits.
Current Dissipation: Safely disperses excess or fault current into the ground to protect systems and maintain voltage balance during abnormal conditions.
Lightning Protection: Shields structures and electrical systems from lightning strikes by directing high-voltage surges safely into the ground through a proper earthing system.
Equipment Protection: Prevents damage to sensitive electrical and electronic devices by managing voltage surges, short circuits, and power fluctuations.
System Stability: Maintains consistent performance and operational reliability of the entire electrical system by minimizing disturbances and grounding fluctuations.
Compliance with Standards: Ensures the earthing and electrical safety systems meet national and international regulations like IS, IEC, or IEEE, which is essential for legal, insurance, and safety requirements.

Back Filling Compound
Backfilling compound, also known as earthing compound or earth resistivity booster, is a material used in the construction of earthing systems to enhance the conductivity and longevity of the grounding electrodes. It is typically used to fill the space around buried grounding electrodes, such as ground rods or plates, to provide a low-resistance connection to the surrounding soil.
Copper Bonded Earthing Electrode
Copper Bonded Earthing Electrode is a high-performance grounding solution featuring a steel core uniformly bonded with a layer of pure copper. This combination ensures excellent conductivity, corrosion resistance, and mechanical strength. It is widely used in industrial, commercial, and residential earthing systems for safe and efficient fault current dissipation.
