Technical FAQs 4

Are lightning arrestors and surge protectors a substitute for good grounding?

Lightning arrestors and surge protectors are designed to protect electronic equipment by absorbing electrical surges. However, these devices are not a substitute for good grounding. They function only in conjunction with effective grounding. The grounding system is an important part of your wiring infrastructure.

What is a lightning protection system?

Lightning protection systems (LPS) provide a protective zone to assure against direct strikes to PV systems by utilizing basic principles of air terminals, down conductors, equipotential bonding, separation distances and a low‐ impedance grounding electrode system.

What are the components of a lightning protection system?

1.1 Air Terminals which may or may not “collect” the lightning. 1.2 Downconductors to direct all or some or none of the lightning. 1.3 Bonding which unifies all conductors. 1.4 Grounding which provides a low impedance destination. 1.5 Surge Protection Devices (SPDs) which defend critical circuits/operations against transients.

What are bonding grounding and surge protection?

Abstract: Bonding, Grounding and Surge Protection are integral parts of a topologically shielded lightning protection system for reasons of codes compliance, good engineeering practices and safety. This Paper describes their respective roles, with citations from important international Codes and Standards. 1.0 Introduction.
