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

Aaris provided exceptional service and reliable lightning protection for our building.

Mr Joseph - Building Owner
A vibrant lightning storm illuminates the night sky above a line of modern architectural structures along a riverside. The lightning bolts create dramatic reflections in the water, alongside reflections from streetlights. The scene is a juxtaposition of nature's raw power and urban development.
