OBO can offer components for
comprehensive lightning and
surge voltage protection systems.
Standard-compliant, tested com-
ponents from OBO offer protection
and safety the highest order not
just for homes but also for industri-
al plants and potentially explosive
areas.9 Components lightning and
surge protection system
All lightning and surge protection systems are made
up the following elements:
1.1. Air-termination and down-conductor systems
Air-termination and down-conductor systems reliably
arrest direct lightning strikes with energy to
200,000 and conduct them safely into the earthing
system. Earthing systems
Earthing systems discharge approx.
3. 50% the arres-
ted lightning current into the ground; the other
half distributed via the equipotential bonding. Equipotential bonding systems
Equipotential bonding systems form the interface
between external and internal lightning protection.
They ensure that dangerous potential differences do
not come about the building
