Did Benjamin have Total Lightning in Control,  do you have?

In the middle of the 18th century Benjamin Franklin already proved that lightning is an electrical phenomenon. The invention of the lightning conductor is based on his contribution.

Today it is common knowledge that lightning protection is more than just a cage consisting of an air termination, down conductor and an earth termination system. In addition to the protection of people inside of buildings and the prevention against fire and mechanical destruction of buildings and systems, lightning protection must also include the reduction of the lightning electromagnetic fields.

Extensive use of electrical and electronic equipment in industry, administration and at home showed very soon that conventional lightning protection solely was no longer sufficient. Surge protection had become a necessity.

STATE OF THE ART FOR THE INSTALLATION OF LIGHTNING PROTECTION SYSTEMS

At the beginning of 2006, the new IEC standards on lightning protection, Parts 1 to 4 of the series IEC 62305 were published. Almost at the same time they became effective as new European Lightning Protection Standards EN 62305-1 to 4.

ALEKTRAON BV Aarding & Bliksemwerken applies these standards to the design, installation, inspection and maintenance of  lightning protection systems. Our standard is #Safety First
