What is a grounding system and how does it work?
When we think of lightning protection, it’s common to focus on the lightning rod or its down conductors. However, much of the actual performance of the system depends on the grounding system.
But a grounding system for lightning protection has nothing to do with a conventional electrical grounding system. Its design must respond to a completely different phenomenon, one that is extraordinary in electrical terms: an extremely fast, intense, and high-frequency current.
In this article we explain why, from the physics of lightning, the grounding system must be specifically designed to ensure the safety of people, structures, and equipment.
