What Lightning Rod & Surge Protection covers
Treat external lightning protection and internal surge protection as coordinated but different functions. Building risk, air terminals, down conductors, bonding, earth termination and SPD interfaces require the responsible engineering design.
It sits in Lightning Protection & Earthing under Earthing. The final deliverable is shaped by the intended outcome, the installed or proposed environment and the interfaces that must be owned, supplied, integrated and tested.
When to use this page
Treat external lightning protection and internal surge protection as coordinated but different functions. Building risk, air terminals, down conductors, bonding, earth termination and SPD interfaces require the responsible engineering design. Confirm building geometry and risk assessment, existing lightning system, roof access, down-conductor and bonding routes, earth termination, internal SPD coordination and design approvals.
