Design considerations

When designing a lightning protection system, approder thee following factors:

  • Material selektion for dirigtors and grounding condients.
  • Proper spating and placement of air terminals to maximize coverage.
  • Ensuring system complients are complicant with IEEE standards.
  • Regular chection and accessance to ensure systemem integrity.
