2. Lightning rod - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lightning_rod

   A lightning protection system includes a network of air terminals, bonding conductors, and ground electrodes designed to provide a low impedance path to ground for potential strikes. Lightning protection systems are used to prevent lightning strike damage to structures. Lightning protection systems mitigate the fire hazard which lightning ...

3. Ground (electricity) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ground_(electricity)

   The large area is required to dissipate the high current of a lightning strike without damaging the system conductors by excess heat. Since lightning strikes are pulses of energy with very high frequency components, grounding systems for lightning protection tend to use short straight runs of conductors to reduce the self-inductance and skin ...

4. Power system protection - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power_system_protection

   Power system protection is a branch of electrical power engineering that deals with the protection of electrical power systems from faults [citation needed] through the disconnection of faulted parts from the rest of the electrical network. The objective of a protection scheme is to keep the power system stable by isolating only the components ...

   Lightning protection systems for trees are old technology having been developed decades ago. It consists of three connected parts. An air terminal is located in the tree top to catch the strike ...

6. Ring ground - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ring_ground

   Ring grounds are typically used as protection against lightning strikes. They are also known as ground rings, although this term may also be applied to grounding rings that are installed in metal pipe systems to protect electrical devices such as flow meters.

7. Electrical safety standards - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrical_safety_standards

   Lightning and Earthing protection systems are essential for the protection of humans, structures, protecting buildings from mechanical destruction caused by lightning effects and the associated risk of fire, Transmission lines, and electrical equipment from electric shock and Overcurrent. [6]
