STAND 194

Stand 194 M8 Lightning rods and other lightning capture structures are part of the external lightning protection system designed to intercept lightning strikes. These must be installed in such a way that especially the corners and edges of the building are protected. When a direct lightning strike hits a building protected by an external lightning protection system, large potential differences can arise between the building and the installed systems (electrical, telecommunications cables), leading to dangerous fires and damage. Nearby lightning strikes generate strong magnetic fields that can damage electrical equipment. But even lightning strikes up to 2 km away can generate dangerous overvoltages in the building's electrical equipment. OBO provides all necessary products for implementing reliable lightning protection: lightning rods, surge protectors, potential equalization and grounding accessories.
