Lightning is a naturally occurring electrostatic discharge during which two electrically charged regions, both in the atmosphere or with one on the ground, temporarily neutralize themselves, causing the instantaneous release of an average of one gigajoule of energy. This discharge may produce a wide range of electromagnetic radiation, from heat created by the rapid movement of electrons, to brilliant flashes of visible light in the form of black-body radiation. Lightning causes thunder, a sound from the shock wave which develops as gases in the vicinity of the discharge experience a sudden increase in pressure. Lightning occurs commonly during thunderstorms as well as other types of energetic weather systems, but volcanic lightning can also occur during volcanic eruptions.

The three main kinds of lightning are distinguished by where they occur: either inside a single thundercloud, between two different clouds, or between a cloud and the ground. Many other observational variants are recognized, including “heat lightning”, which can be seen from a great distance but not heard; dry lightning, which can cause forest fires; and ball lightning, which is rarely observed scientifically.

Humans have deified lightning for millennia. Idiomatic expressions derived from lightning, such as the English expression “bolt from the blue”, are common across languages. At all times people have been fascinated by the sight and difference of lightning. The fear of lightning is called astraphobia.

A Lightning Protection System or LPS or lightning arrester System is a protective device that conducts the high voltage surge on the power system to the ground”

Extensive Engineering & Service provided the best Lightning Protection System in Bangladesh. Lightning is also called Thunder or Surge. So the whole system is also called the Thunder protection system or Surge protection system.  Lightning Protection system or LPS protects coverage area and all electronic devices from Thunder or surge. There are many ways to escape from thunder but the Thunder Protection system is the best way to protect from thunder. Lightning negative charge & Lightning Protection System provides positive charge, so it arrests the lightning, for this, it is also called Lightning Arrester System or Thunder Arrester System or Surge Arrester System.

We only properly survey, design, & install by a skilled engineer and come up with the complete Lightning Protection solution in Bangladesh.

Different Part of Lightning Arrester System:

1. Air Terminals
2. Down Conductors
3. Ground Terminals
4. Interconnecting Conductors
5. Surge Protective Devices, and
6. Other Connectors or fittings required to complete the system

Lightning discharges contain awesome amounts of electrical energy. It has been measured from several thousand amps to over 200,000 amps – enough to light half a million 100 watt bulbs! Even though a lightning discharge is of a very short duration (typically 200 microseconds) it is a very real cause of damage and destruction.

The function of an external lightning protection system is to intercept, conduct and disperse a lightning strike safely to earth. Without such a system a building’s structure, electronic systems and the people working around or within it are all at risk.

Our several years of experience in the design and installing Lightning Protection and Grounding Systems allow us to deliver best quality installations with outstanding customer service at an optimal value.

The importance of the lightning protection system for any infrastructure is huge as it protects its inhabitants and surrounding areas by preventing major mechanical disasters, lightning accidents, burning, etc. It protects the people inside and around a building while simultaneously providing a safe route for the lightning current to pass to the ground without hampering any of your electronic devices. Setting up the lightning protection system is a must for every structure to ensure the safety of everyone inhabiting or visiting the building.

Especially if you are living in a region where lightning is a common phenomenon, a good lightning protection system can save people and electrical systems from being harmed during lightning.

Bangladesh National Building Code (BNBC) gives clear regulations for setting up “Lightning Arrestor” recommended for buildings over 22m high and mandatory for buildings more than 33m high. It is obligatory to take the NOC (No Objection Certificate) for all realtors which comply with BNBC code.

International organizations working in Bangladesh like Accord Bangladesh, Alliance, ILO, Nirapon etc. has made LPS mandatory for every industry to get enlisted with them.

The biggest electric sparks that travel 60,000m per second cause serious building damages. It also destroys trees and causes human injury or death. So to know more of Lighting Protection system in Bangladesh, let’s know some serious facts about the lightning strikes-

Each lighting can create heat about 54,000 degrees Fahrenheit that is hotter than the sun.
It has the ability to strike at the same place continuously more than twice or more.
It can strike multiple places at the same time without any hassle.
Each lightning bolt can cover as long as 90 miles.
It heats the nearby air to around 10,000 degrees Celsius.
All should be aware of the risks caused by a lightning bolt and take necessary measures accordingly. Each stroke causes fire and mechanical disruption. Moreover, it has the ability to do chemical explosions around the structures. LPS system installation can protect homes, properties and ensure safety for health and life from lightning strikes. Besides, lightning is not only responsible for causing external damages but also internal damages associated with modern equipment or systems like computers. It destroys the CCTV system, base station, building management system, and others in a building. So the lightning protection system for homes must be taken care of by all the people in Bangladesh.

A natural phenomenon is known as a thunderstorm, its lightning can produce more than 100 volts of voltage with each of its strokes. It’s considered a gigantic hazard on the earth. The main aim of designing and installing the lightning protection system in Bangladesh is to conduct protection of people, the environment, and the infrastructure from the most destructive occasion known as thunderstorms caused by lightning.

Let’s not live into this misconception ‘LPS prevent lightning striking over the infrastructure’. Nothing on this earth contains the ability to prevent such a natural phenomenon. Lightning protection systems intercept each of the lightning strokes and provide a particular conductive way through which the dangerous electrical discharge disperses all its power into the earth ground. Let’s know the elements included in lightning protection system design-

Lightning Rods: A component that has been designed to ensure the safety of homes or buildings against thunderstorms. A lightning rod that is properly connected can minimize the chances of striking lightning as well as the side flashes. The UL-listed copper or aluminum-made cables (lightning rods) help to prevent direct strikes.

Down Conductors: It helps to protect the internal electrical home system from very powerful lightning. It should be installed in a specific way through which it gives a conductive path for the powerful electrics and let it disperse all its energy to the ground.

Earth Rods: It’s also referred to as the Earthling system. To perform its protection function, it requires a connection to the earth. We try to measure the earth’s resistance value as our future reference by conducting the test points got from it.

Why should you take lightning protection system installation service for home?

BNBC or Bangladesh National Building Code has recommended ‘Lightning Arrestors’ for buildings that are over 22m high. They also provide clear regulations to set up such a system mandatory for buildings that are higher than 33m. Besides the international companies which are doing business in our country promote LPS mandatory for all the industries enlisted with them. Now let’s know why LPS system installation is important-

Protect electrical system: We do LPS Systems in Bangladesh design for homes. LPS protect the whole electrical system of the building. A building without a lightning protection system may face various damages caused by thunderstorms which also collapse the home environment.

A total solution: A reliable lightning protection system in Bangladesh can serve as a total solution to homes. Structural lightning protection system transients overvoltage protection or minimize damages. On the other LPS can prevent damages to the buildings which others can’t do. so if anyone wants to ensure protection for family or the employees working for them can promote LPS system installation.

Conventional LPS system: Conventional Lightning Rod (Spike Arrester) is also known as a lightning conductor. It is actually a metal rod or conductor which is normally mounted on top of a structure. It’s then connected through an electrical wire to the ground. Though it may also use earthing copper strips. The rod protects the structure on the occasion of a lightning strike. According to the laws of physics, when lightning attacks, it will not strike the building, instead it will automatically strike the lightning protection rod and transfer it harmlessly to the ground using the wire or copper strips. Conventional LPS system comprises-

Air Termination Network.
Down Conductors.
Earthing system.
Digital LPS system: The most advanced LPS or Lightning Protection System technology offered by EMS Engineering Technology is the digital LPS system. It offers great coverage as well as higher accuracy in catching electrical strikes. It also reduces the risk of damage or destruction around its coverage. It contains a terminal that effectively covers a great area, which makes it too economical. Because it only needs two down conductors that totally complete the loop. Besides, it’s really easy to maintain.

For an efficient purchase of a good lightning protection system, you need to be aware of the elements of an ideal lightning protection solution. Lightning protection system price in Bangladesh will also vary depending on the elements you give more preference to. Read our buying guide of the lightning protection system to get an overview of the essential elements of the lightning and surge protection system in Bangladesh.

Bonding: The bonding or interconnection of the lightning protection system to the other internal grounded metallic systems of your household need to be accommodated properly to ensure the elimination of the risk which may allow the lightning to side flash internally and electrocute you.

Cable conductor: A cable conductor is one of the principal elements of a proper lightning protection system. It routes the lightning current in a way that it bypasses your construction without causing damage.

Ground electrode system: The ground electrode system works alongside the cable conductor and enables the transmission of the lightning current from below to its final destination, away from your infrastructure and its contents.

Strike termination device: The strength of the strike termination device or air terminal will decide its ability to endure direct lightning attachment and strikes before they reach the insulation material of your building.

It intercepts lightning flashes and helps to divert the lightning away from you and your electronics. A strong strike termination device is preferred for regions more prone to lightning.
