Surge arrester and Lightning rod: Prevent fires and protect your electrical installations
Surge arresters and lightning rods are devices used to protect against lightning strikes and electrical surges.
Lightning rod
A lightning rod protects your historical building against a direct lightning strike. Often in the form of a spike installed on the roof of a building, lightning rods act by channelling the lightning to the ground, preventing fires and damage to masonry and roofs.
The lightning rod protects the building against the risks of lightning. It comprises an early streamer emission device (ESE) and two conductors that run into the ground.
Surge Arrester
A surge arrester is a device that protects electrical and electronic devices from transitory electrical surges caused by lightning.
- Destruction of equipment caused by lightning is fortunately not inevitable. Effective protection solutions exist: surge arresters which, when carefully chosen and properly installed on the various networks, provide a level of security to cope with these disturbances
- There are two types of surge arrester: T1 installed as near as possible to the low-voltage switchboard and T2 installed as close as possible to the low-voltage equipment to be protected.
