Lightning protection refers to systems and methods designed to safeguard structures and people from the damaging effects of lightning strikes. These systems typically include lightning rods, which are metal rods placed on rooftops to attract lightning, and grounding systems that safely direct the electrical energy into the ground. In addition to lightning rods, protection systems may involve surge protectors that prevent electrical surges from damaging electronic devices. Proper installation and maintenance of these systems are crucial to ensure their effectiveness, especially in areas prone to thunderstorms and lightning activity.
