Testing of Lightning Protection System


Modern diagnostic testing is available to mimic the performance of lightning conducting devices as well as to indicate the general route of lightning through structures. This testing typically is low power, 50 watt or less. It is traceable, but will not trip MOVs, gas tube arrestors, or other transient protection devices. With such techniques, lightning paths can be forecast reliably.
 


Codes & Standards

It is important to check that the equipment conforms with codes and standards set by reputable organizations such as IEC, IEEE, MIL-STD, FAA, NASA.
