  What is Lightning Rods

  Lighting rods are a key part of a lightning protection system. These devices are installed above ground to provide a barrier against lightning strikes. The height of a lightning rod should be at least 30 centimeters above the ground. The rod's efficiency increases with its height. The zone of protection is calculated by using the formula S=ph2. The higher the lightning rod, the higher the protection zone. The company was founded in 1898 by George Henry Cliff, who had previously worked for the U...

  How the Ground Rod Works

  Grounding rods are commonly used grounding materials in lightning protection grounding projects; people are often attacked by lightning in daily life. People's protection against lightning is basically to install lightning rods outdoors, and then direct the attacking lightning energy into the ground. In this way, the damage of lightning is prevented. It can be seen that how to leak lightning energy into the ground is a very important part of the entire lightning protection system. The main func...

  How to choose a lightning rod

  Lightning rods are not the only type and style. Lightning rods need to be selected according to the specific use environment. For example, the height of the building is an important reference factor for selecting the specifications of lightning rods. Under normal circumstances, the lightning rod will choose to use 316 stainless steel to make it into a lightning rod. After all, lightning rods are used outdoors, and they need to face different natural environments to avoid being eroded by rain bec...

  Correct use of ground rods

  The grounding rod is very flexible during construction, and different construction methods can be adopted according to the specific conditions of the site, such as directly driving into the soil with heavy hammers, electric picks and other equipment; under complex soil conditions, the grounding rod cannot be driven in, and can be drilled after drilling. Reinstall the ground rod. Diagram of the use method of ground rod When using a heavy hammer for construction under uniform soil conditions, if ...

  How to calculate the protection range of lightning rod

  Calculation of the protection range on the ground, calculation of the protection range of a single needle l In actual work, most lightning protection projects require lightning rods to be installed on the roof. Therefore, in order to apply the formula, no matter what the situation is, many people use the roof as the ground for calculation, which is not in line with the principle of the rolling ball method. The method of calculating the protection range of lightning rods using the roof as the gro...

  About the working principle of the lightning rod

  1. The working principle of the lightning rod: In the thunderstorm weather, when the charged cloud layer appears over the high-rise building, the lightning rod and the top of the high-rise building are induced with a large amount of charge. 2. Since the tip of the lightning rod is sharp, the tip of the conductor always accumulates the most charge during electrostatic induction. In this way, the lightning rod collects most of the charge. 3. The lightning rod forms a capacitor with these charged c...

  What is a ground observation well

  The ground observation well is referred to as the observation well, which is a prefabricated object made of plastic or concrete to test the performance of the grounding device. This product can be widely used in auxiliary projects of grounding facilities in various fields such as working grounding, protective grounding, anti-interference grounding, lightning protection grounding and anti-static, providing great convenience for real-time monitoring of grounding efficiency and inspection of ground...
