For the protection of power station buildings against direct strokes the requirements are

  • For the protection of power station buildings against direct strokes the requirements are Interception, conduction, and dissipation.
  • Lightning strikes are a significant threat to power station buildings, as they can cause damage to equipment and potentially start fires.
  • Therefore, lightning protection systems are installed to intercept, conduct, and dissipate the lightning strike energy.
  • Interception involves using lightning rods or air terminals to attract the lightning strike to a preferred point of attachment.
  • Conduction involves providing a low-impedance path for the lightning current to follow, typically using a network of down conductors and grounding electrodes.
  • Dissipation involves distributing the lightning current safely into the earth, minimizing the risk of damage to the building or its contents.
