Definitions

lightning protection

Special rods and pathways to channel lightning and protect a structure from a strike.

Lightning protection refers to a system of electrically conductive rods or other conduits which are positioned on a structure to receive any lightning strikes which may occur and direct the electricity into the ground. There must be a continuous conductive route between the lightning rods and their grounding which does not direct dangerous flows of electricity into the building's structure, interior, or mechanical systems.
