direct lightning strike poses risk of
loss human life, public services (telephone), cultural
treasures (museums, theatres) and economic goods
(property).
But lightning protection system alone not enough:
due its impedance, the building's entire earthing
system raised high potential.TBS

Danger: direct lightning strike
S1: Direct lightning strike into building
If lightning strike hits the external lightning protection
system earthed roof structures capable carrying
lightning current (e. This potential in-
crease causes transmission the lightning current

power supply systems and data cables the adja-
cent earthing systems (adjacent building, low-voltage
transformer). The lightning protection system protects
the building and people from direct lightning impulses
and fires.
