How Lightning Protection Works

A lightning protection system provides a proven solution to a destructive force of nature. Properly installed systems are 99% effective in preventing damage from lightning.

We can design a system for your residence, church, manufacturing facility or other structure. No job is too large or small.

Negative and Positive Charges Build Up

Negative charges of electrical energy build up in the lower part of clouds hovering close to Earth during a thunderstorm.
On the other hand, Positive charges develop in the ground directly underneath the clouds.

Lightning occurs when the dry air between the cloud and the ground is moistened by rain or high humidity. Lightning strikes start downward in 150 foot intervals.

Lightning Strikes!

In a lightning protection system the positive ground charge is coursed upward through the conducting cables attached to your structure.

When the negative downward stroke from the cloud is about 150 feet above the top of the structure, the positive ground charge leaps upward to meet the lightning bolt (striking distance).

The Charges Are Neutralized

The two opposite charges are neutralized emptying the negative charges from the cloud and dissipating the ground charge. This all occurs in about 1/5,000 of a second.

The discharge has now been completed and the negative cloud charge and the positive ground charge becomes zero.

Commercial Buildings

For a business a lightning strike can be much more destructive than simply causing damage to your building. A lightning protection system prevents losses due to structural damage, computer/equipment damage, data loss, down time/outage customer service, and personal injury to your workers caused by a lightning strike can be a major expense for your operation.

Industrial Sites

Protect your industrial site from Lightning Strikes which can easily cause damage to processing or production equipment resulting in costly downtime and lost work hours. A well designed and properly installed lightning protection system for an Industrial Site can prevent lightning damage before it happens, saving you money from extensive damage to equipment which may need to be repaired or replaced. Industrial sites are choosing lightning protection systems for their structures as part of the overall security package to protect property, inventory, sensitive equipment, and most of all their employees in the event of a fire or explosion caused by a lightning strike.

Residential Homes

Our lightning protection systems provide a safe path to the ground for lightning should it strike your home. Most systems will last the life of the home with little or no maintenance, making lightning protection a one-time cost. Protect your family from lightning hazards such as electrocution and structural damage with a lightning protection system from Maritime Lightning Protection.
