TEST JOINT 226 RD 8-10 / RD 16

Supplementary Section 226 Ř16mm / Rd8-10 + 30mm lightning rod Lightning rods and other lightning collection structures are part of the external lightning protection system designed to intercept lightning strikes. These must be installed so 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 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, equipotential bonding and grounding accessories.
