Lightening(thunder) arrest

Hi dear,

Please check that your lightning discharge path is isolated from your generating plant earthing...

if it is in contact than it can happen...

so you can separate both earthing... also consider step potential.

please update me if problem get solved...

Dear all,

Do not isolate your lightning protection systems with other earthing.

All earthing systems must be bonded together to make one integrated earth system.

By applying integrated earth, when there is a lightning strike, all equipment in your building will have same potential. This will minimize the damage by lightning.

Regards

Lightning protection grounding pits must be distinctivly seperate from the power earth.

Since lightning strike is a very high frequncy pulse so bends in the continuety conductor must be avoided failing thereof the lighting surge can jump aross gaps to make a short path to earth and that short path can be your electrical earth wire or even that can be your body if you happan to fit into the criteria.

(A common mistake in lightning system design implimentation is that if the straight run of the down conductor is obstructed by a door the conductor wire gets routed with two 90 degree bends to the ground, cosequently any person standing in the door during a lighting strike provides a short straight path for the discharge dissipation!)
