Lightning Protection is considering as the safety system to protect all environments whether to a person, building structures, electrical, mechanical, electronic equipment and other occupants within the Project Areas. The system will ensure of save and sound areas to work in and all equipment to be operated free from hazardous to itself any one In contact with.
Lightning Protection System - Bangkok vicinity has been hit by lightning frequently. Therefore, suitable and adequate protection must be provided to obtain the safest method of operation. Major appliances to form Lightning Protection System are saddles, copper tape, bare copper wire, test box, ground rods, exothermic welding and mounting accessories. The system will capture the lightning strikes in the area at copper tape and dissipate the energy to ground via, down conductor and ground rod. Copper is considering as one the best conductor for lightning to pass through quickly without damaging to building and nearby structures. Lightning must be directed to ground rapidly; therefore, ground rod attached to the system must be installed and tested to obtained their best conductance.
