What is a lightning protection system?
A LPS system is to protect any structure, equipment, or people from the damaging effects of lightning strikes.
Part 1: Lightning protection system design
Class of LPS
Risk management includes determination of lightning protection level, selection of lightning protection method and calculation of lightning protection system design.
Design of LPS base on building configuration and regulatory requirements
Every building presents unique challenges and requirements, making it clear that there is no one-size-fits-all solution for lightning protection. For instance, the lightning protection system for an oil terminal is vastly different from that of a residential home, as the stakes involved in industrial settings are significantly higher. Some industries house sensitive equipment that cannot tolerate abrupt shutdowns caused by lightning strikes. This emphasizes the need for tailored lightning protection systems that account for the specific characteristics and risks associated with each building type. Understanding these variations is crucial for developing effective strategies to safeguard infrastructure and sensitive technologies from the potentially damaging effects of lightning.
Part 2: Components of LPS
Air-termination system: Provide a low-resistance path for lightning current to flow into the ground which includes lightning rods, air terminals, and conductors
Down conductors: Carry the lightning current from the air-termination system to the earthing system and offer a low-resistance path for the current
Earthing system: Dissipate the lightning current safely into the ground
Surge protective devices (SPDs): Protect sensitive electronic equipment from transient over-voltages caused by lightning
Equipotential bonding: Prevent dangerous potential differences during a lightning strike by ensuring all conductive parts within the structure are at the same potential
Risk management in the context of lightning protection involves a systematic approach to ensure safety and minimize potential damage from lightning strikes. This process begins with determining the appropriate lightning protection level based on the specific needs of the structure or area at risk. Once the level is established, the suitable lightning protection method is selected, which may include options like air terminals, grounding systems, or surge protection devices. Following this, a comprehensive calculation of the lightning protection system design is carried out to ensure that all components are effectively integrated and capable of providing optimal protection. This meticulous planning is essential to safeguard both property and lives from the unpredictable nature of lightning.
Part 3: When should I do a LPS Audit Inspection
We highly recommend to conduct a yearly comprehensive inspection to keep the LPS in good working condition for the Oil & Gas & industrial factories and every 5 years for residential homes.
Part 4: When should I call for a LPS specialist for repair works?
When you spotted any of the below, it is best to engage a specialist to repair or replace to get the System integrity back to normal
Loose connections
Corrosion or damage to components
Secure attachment of conductors and components
Compliance with the current Singapore standards SS 555 : 2018 Protection against Lightning
Site assessment to identify vulnerable areas
Risk assessment to determine the appropriate level of protection
Continuity and resistance testing of the grounding system
Testing of surge protection devices
Part 5: Record Keeping
Inspection and maintenance records should be maintained, as they can be crucial during audits or inspections by regulatory bodies.We recommend to conduct yearly audit and filing this documents as part of your building maintenance routine
