LIGHTNING PROTECTION SYSTEMS

Lightning protection systems are essential to prevent damage during severe storm activity and high-energy electrical events. A well-engineered system safeguards buildings and services by safely capturing, conducting, and dispersing lightning strikes and transient currents.

Direct Strike’s high-performance systems are designed, supplied, installed, and commissioned by specialist teams. We adopt nationally and internationally recognised design methods and standards, including:

EN 62305

COMPONENTS OF A STRUCTURAL LIGHTNING PROTECTION SYSTEM

A complete lightning protection system relies on three key components working together to safely capture, conduct, and disperse lightning strikes.

At Direct Strike, every system we install is designed and built in line with international standards to guarantee performance and compliance. Our specialist engineers ensure each element is precisely designed, installed, and tested, protecting your people, property, and infrastructure from the dangers of severe electrical storms.

1. Air Termination Network

2. Down Conductors

3. Earthing System

Captures lightning strikes and directs the energy into the protection system, ensuring safe distribution to the down conductors.

Provide a secure path for the lightning current, carrying it safely from the air termination network to the earthing system.

Dissipates the lightning energy harmlessly into the ground. Designed to meet international standards, ensuring safety, compliance, and reliable performance.
