How is the grounding of the human body static discharge column at the top of the tank installed? Does it need to be separated from the lightning protection system? It should be possible to connect at the top of the tank and on the tank’s roof, using the tank wall as the down conductor.

The human body static discharge post at the top of the tank should be installed on the tank, usually fixed to its top using bolts and brackets. Grounding should be carried out using methods that comply with relevant standards, to ensure that static electricity can be effectively discharged to the ground. It is generally recommended to separate it from the lightning protection system, as the human body static discharge columns on the top of the tank serve primarily to protect people’s safety, while the lightning protection system is intended to safeguard equipment from damage caused by lightning strikes. If the two are connected together during installation, it may cause mutual interference. Therefore, professional design and proper layout are necessary to ensure the safety of personnel and equipment. .

How to install it is a problem; welding is not necessary
