Wondering Why Your Need Protection System Installation in India:
Discharging up to 20000 amps of current from a distance of 4.5km to 7.5km above the ground that occurs frequently causes a huge amount of economic losses, severe injuries and death. During the stormy event, people lose there life and property as the downstream find itself a conductive path to the ground to complete the circuit also affecting historical buildings/ monuments, industries, residential buildings, etc. these happenings are natural and ofcouse not so uncommon causing system downtime of power machines and devices experienced by businesses. Hence, the lightning risk assessment and practising safety measures play a vital part after being well aware of the vulnerability to structures from lightning strikes.
In India, every 10 days, we hear the news of lightning strikes in certain parts, which is majorly due to drastic climatic change and rise in temperature, which is further expected to rise in coming years.
The Lightning Protection Plan and the Tools Used for Risk Assessment as Per Is/ Iec 62305:
Evaluate your building and its surroundings of the lightning risk and install a protection segment against this potential threat to prevent property damage and loss of life, primarily if the structure/ building is located in a high lightning density area. Your facility would benefit by the addition of conventional technology widely adopted as per the international standard IS/IEC 62305 & National Building Code (NBC 2016) which is the latest revision clearly defining the need of lightning protection system and methodology of risk assessment which guides safety professionals with the placement of network involving components - Air terminal network and down conductor network with bonding techniques, grounding methods and practices.

Lightning Protection – All you want to know
Lightning Kills 1000’s of people annually in India
(Note: Videos of all programs are available in this blog)
Lightning is a natural hazard that causes serious personal injuries, death and economical losses in many parts of the world. Lightning ignites fires that may bring an entire building or a house down to ashes. At a lower degree of damages, the lightning current may destroy electrical, electronic and communication equipment beyond repair. Many of these dangers and losses could be minimized by educating the general public and the engineers on lightning and its safety needs.
Considering the important of Lightning Protection as cone of the needful areas of awareness and research in India, the Centre for Innovation in Science and Social Action (CISSA) and the Lightning Awareness & Research Center (LARC), are continuously organizing training programs since 2006. This year the program is made as a part of VIDYUT SURAKSHIT BHARAT ABHIYAN, an yearlong awareness program on electrical safety in buildings.
The training will be made by the most eminent personality in the subject, Dr. G R Nagabhushana (retd), Former Professor & Chairman, Dept. of High Voltage Engg., Indian Institute of Science, Bengaluru.
This webinar series is organised on 4 Sundays (22 & 29 May, 05 & 12 June)
11 AM and 1 PM (2 hours each)
No registration required.
