Lightning Protection Testing

Inspection, Testing & Maintenance of Lightning Protection Systems is Essential

Lightning Protection systems play a crucial role in safeguarding buildings and structures from the potentially destructive force of high voltage lightning strikes. By effectively diverting these strikes to the ground, these systems not only prevent structural fires but also ensure the protection of valuable electrical equipment housed within the building.


Regular inspection, testing, and maintenance of lightning protection systems are imperative to ensure their optimal performance. At Electrical Testing Company, we specialize in providing high voltage testing services for lightning protection systems. Our team of experts can meticulously assess the system’s resistance to earth, down conductor continuity, as well as the adequacy and extent of the air termination network.

During our thorough testing process, we thoroughly check for any loose connections, signs of corrosion, and the integrity of grounding electrodes. Additionally, we assess the condition of surge protection devices and provide valuable recommendations for any necessary repairs or improvements

Why Is Lightning Protection Important?

Lightning protection testing is essential because it ensures that lightning protection systems are functioning correctly, effectively safeguarding buildings and their occupants from the potentially devastating effects of lightning strikes. Proper testing verifies that all components, such as lightning rods, grounding systems, and surge protection devices, meet safety standards and regulatory requirements. By identifying any weaknesses or deficiencies in the system before a lightning event occurs, businesses and property owners can prevent costly damage, protect valuable assets, and enhance overall safety. Additionally, regular testing and maintenance of lightning protection systems provide peace of mind, knowing that appropriate measures are in place to mitigate the risks associated with severe weather.

 

How Often Should Require Inspection?

In order to gain the most from you investment, Lightning Protection Systems should be tested and inspected on an annual basis, at R.E.S we recommend carry out the test and inspection at 11 month intervals, thus varying the season in which the system is tested.

In many cases, your commercial renovation will involve more than just knocking down retaining walls or installing new shop counters.

It may also require you to first remove some of your existing electrical wiring, circuits and sockets to make room for new appliances and circuits.

In addition to end-of-lease shop defit, our commercial electricians also work with businesses who are renovating, working closely with your builders and carpenters to take your business to the next level.
