Lightning and Surge Protection Systems

ZOD specializes in comprehensive lightning and surge protection systems that safeguard people, buildings, and equipment from electrical hazards. Our lightning and surge protection solutions defend against direct strikes, transient surges, and grounding failures. We design, install, and maintain systems engineered to IEC 62305 and IEC/EN 61643 standards, customized for each facility’s unique risk profile.

Three Essential Layers of Lightning and Surge Protection

Every resilient facility requires a coordinated lightning and surge protection system that addresses direct strikes, transient surges, and safe grounding. Our comprehensive approach ensures complete protection across all vulnerability points.

Earthing & Grounding Systems

Low-impedance earthing and equipotential bonding stabilize voltages and protect occupants and equipment from electrical hazards.

Comprehensive soil resistivity testing
Custom earth grid design & upgrades
Equipotential & functional bonding
Professional exothermic welding & busbars

Lightning Protection Systems (LPS)

Air terminals, down conductors, and earth termination systems capture and safely dissipate lightning strikes to protect your facility.

Detailed risk assessment & protection class (I–IV)
Strategic air terminals & mesh networks
Optimized down conductor routing & separation
Robust earth termination networks

Surge Protection Devices (SPD)

Coordinated SPD installations clamp transient overvoltages and protect sensitive electrical and electronic equipment throughout your facility.

Type 1 SPDs: Service entry protection (spark-gap)
Type 2 SPDs: Sub-distribution panel protection
Type 3 SPDs: Point-of-use equipment protection
Specialized data & telecom line protection

Why Lightning and Surge Protection Systems Matter

Direct lightning strikes and transient surges cause facility downtime, equipment failure, and safety incidents. Professional lightning and surge protection systems reduce these risks significantly.

Investing in coordinated lightning and surge protection protects people, preserves equipment, and maintains operational continuity. Modern facilities face increasing electrical threats from both natural phenomena and grid instabilities.

Protect People

Safe dissipation of lightning energy and equipotential bonding prevent dangerous step and touch voltages that threaten occupant safety.

Protect Equipment

SPDs shield critical assets like IT infrastructure, medical devices, and industrial controls from costly surge damage and premature failure.

Protect Operations

Well-engineered earthing and surge systems reduce downtime, minimize compliance risks, and ensure business continuity during electrical events.

Engineered to International Standards

Our lightning and surge protection systems meet or exceed international standards for safety and performance:

IEC 62305 – Comprehensive lightning protection system design, installation & risk assessment
IEC/EN 61643 – Surge protective device selection, coordination & testing
IEEE & NFPA guidelines – Power system and telecommunications surge mitigation standards
Local building codes – Compliance with regional electrical safety requirements

Standards compliance ensures your lightning and surge protection investment delivers reliable performance, meets insurance requirements, and provides documented safety for occupants and assets.
