Lightning protection for Solar Panal system


Lightning protection for Solar Panal system





Click on the video to get the exact idea of the process




lightning rod (USAUS) or lightning conductor (UK) is a metal rod or metallic object mounted on top of an elevated structure, such as a building, a ship, or even a treeelectrically bonded using a wire or electrical conductor to interface with ground or "earth" through anelectrode, engineered to protect the structure in the event of lightning strike. If lightning hits the structure, it will preferentially strike the rod and be conducted to ground through the wire, instead of passing through the structure, where it could start a fire or cause electrocution. Lightning rods are also called finials, air terminals or strike termination devices.
In a lightning protection system, a lightning rod is a single component of the system. The lightning rod requires a connection to earth to perform its protective function. Lightning rods come in many different forms, including hollow, solid, pointed, rounded, flat strips or even bristle brush-like. The main attribute common to all lightning rods is that they are all made of conductive materials, such as copper andaluminum. Copper and its alloys are the most common materials used in lightning protection.
