Description

A lightning protection system is designed to protect buildings, structures, and their occupants from the damaging effects of lightning strikes. Lightning is a powerful electrical discharge that can cause significant damage to buildings, electrical equipment, and other structures.

Compliance with national and international standard systems for lightning protection At Superior Electric Ltd., we maintain the international standards of lightning protection such as NFPA 780, BS EN/IEC 62305, IEEE, and NFC 17-102, etc. to make sure we offer our customers the safest experience with our lightning protection solution. We also follow our national standard BNBC (Bangladesh National Building Code)

Air Terminal Network:

The Air Termination Network is a vital part of any structural Lightning Protection System.

The network is the part that arrests the lightning strike. An ATN can be designed through multiple methods:

• Mesh Method,
• Protective angle method
• Rolling sphere or a combination.

An ATN may consist of:

• Vertical Air Terminals
• Conductors laid in a mesh over the structure
• A combination of the two (particularly useful when protecting roof mounted plant)

Functionality of ATN System:

• The Air Termination Network – arresting the lightning strike
• The Down Conductor System – taking the lightning discharge to ground
• The Earth Termination/Network – safely dissipating the lightning discharge into the ground

Conductors are also an integral and important component of an earthing system, whether this is for a power station, sub-station, cell site, solar PV array etc.

Features:

• Air terminal components and fittings are available in copper and aluminum.
• Multi-range of air terminal, bases, conductors, connectors and fasteners.
• Down conductors are available as standard or flat type construction.
• Based on conventional design principles rolling sphere, cone of protection and mesh as found in BNBC-2006, NFPA-780, EN 62305-3, Australian-AS1768.
• Ensure easy assemble and installation
