Lightning protection explained

The task a lightning protection system performs is very simple. It provides a path, created by specialists, on which a lightning strike can travel. If your home is armed with a lightning protection system, the damaging power of this lightning strike will be directed safely into the ground. This leaves your home, family members and personal belongings unharmed.

The lightning protection system consists of air terminals (rods), a conductor (cable), bonding with metallic bodies and ground electrodes (counterpoise cable or ground rods) designed to protect the building structure and its occupants.
