In the construction of engineering projects, are any additional lightning protection inspections required after the equipment is installed? It’s pretty weird. . .
I’ve never heard of it; I only know the requirements for static grounding
I’ve never heard of it; I only know the requirements for static grounding
All equipment must be equipped with lightning and static electricity protection grounding systems, and to ensure the effectiveness of this grounding, it is necessary to check that the grounding resistance does not exceed the specified values. This is to protect the equipment. In fact, behind each provision are the lessons learned.
Static grounding must be implemented, and when installing lightning protection grounding, it is necessary to take into account whether the height of the equipment itself exceeds that of the surrounding lightning protection facilities
What if the equipment is higher than the lightning rod on the roof? Do we need to raise the lightning rod?
How is the cost of lightning protection grounding for equipment calculated? Is it determined by the factory building grade whether lightning protection testing is required for equipment grounding?
If the equipment is taller than the surrounding lightning protection facilities, it is recommended to install a lightning protection grounding system on the equipment itself
Are there any standards or guidelines I can refer to?
If the equipment is taller than that of other buildings and equipment in the surrounding area, a lightning rod must be installed and lightning protection testing must be carried out.
