2. The awe-inspiring power of lightning has fascinated and
frightened humanity for centuries. While it's a natural wonder
to behold, its destructive potential is undeniable. To protect
lives, property, and sensitive equipment from lightning strikes,
lightning protection systems (LPS) have been developed.
INTRODUCTION
3. Before we dive into the core elements, it's essential to
understand what a lightning protection system is. An LPS is
designed to mitigate the impact of lightning strikes. It provides
a controlled path for lightning's electrical energy to travel
safely to the ground, thereby reducing the risk of damage or
injury.
UNDERSTANDING LIGHTNING PROTECTION SYSTEMS (LPS)
4. THE FIVE ESSENTIAL ELEMENTS OF AN LPS
1.AIR TERMINALS (LIGHTNING RODS)
Air terminals, commonly known as lightning rods or strike receptors, are the first line
of defense in an LPS. These metal rods are strategically placed on the highest points
of a structure.
2.WRITE A SUBTOPIC
Down conductors, also called lightning conductors or lightning downleads, are the
channels that carry the lightning's electrical current from the air terminals to the
grounding system.
3.GROUNDING SYSTEM
The grounding system is an integral part of any lightning protection system. It consists
of a network of buried conductors and grounding electrodes, such as ground rods or
plates. This system ensures that the electrical energy from a lightning strike is safely
dispersed into the earth.
5. While understanding the elements is crucial, the effectiveness of a
lightning protection system hinges on proper design, installation, and
maintenance. It's essential to consult with experienced professionals
who can assess the unique needs of your structure and ensure that
your LPS meets industry standards and local regulations.

6. ABOUT
When our legacy started with Accura industries in 1995, Jamnagar, Gujarat,
we had no idea how revolutionary this small company would be for the
future of the electrical industry. Initially, we started our journey by
manufacturing brass precision-turned components and bringing them into
the indian market.After acquiring divine Impex (an export-oriented unit),
Cabex Group started exporting Brass Electrical Components to Middle
Eastern markets in 2006.
