SPD (Surge Protective Device) measures for lightning rods [Free rental of lightning counters!]
Lightning rods protect buildings from direct lightning strikes. However, lightning rods cannot prevent lightning surges. SPD is necessary for the protection of electrical equipment!
■Even with a lightning rod installed, lightning surges cannot be prevented! Lightning rods are installed on tall structures such as buildings and towers to protect the building and the people inside from direct lightning strikes. However, lightning surges caused by direct lightning strikes cannot be prevented by lightning rods. To protect electronic devices inside the building, an SPD is necessary. ■What happens if lightning strikes a lightning rod? When lightning strikes a lightning rod, lightning current flows into the building through the lightning conductor. The lightning current that flows into the building generates a lightning surge. This lightning surge enters electronic devices through power lines and communication lines, causing malfunctions. ■How to protect against lightning surges caused by lightning strikes to a lightning rod? Install an SPD. An SPD is a device designed to prevent damage to electrical and electronic equipment caused by lightning. For more details, please refer to the link below. ■Installing an SPD is not difficult If you have extensive experience in electrical equipment installation like us, installing an SPD is not difficult.

Install suitable SPDs (Surge Protective Devices) for the lightning rod. ■Investigation Using a Lightning Counter Is Possible If the entry route is unknown or if equipment malfunctions for some reason, an investigation using a lightning counter is possible. - Counter for direct lightning strikes - Counter for induced lightning There are two types available for loan. The loan is free of charge. This allows for the identification of the lightning entry route. For more details, please refer to the link below.
