  2. Ground (electricity) - Wikipedia

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

    Lightning protection systems are designed to mitigate the effects of lightning through connection to extensive grounding systems that provide a large surface area connection to earth. The large area is required to dissipate the high current of a lightning strike without damaging the system conductors by excess heat.

  3. Earthing system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earthing_system

    System earthing serves a purpose of electrical safety throughout the system that is not caused by a short circuit or other electrical fault.It prevents static buildup and helps protect (as part of a surge protection system) against power surges caused by nearby lightning strikes or switching.

  4. Lightning rod - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lightning_rod

    A lightning protection system is designed to protect a structure from damage due to lightning strikes by intercepting such strikes and safely passing their extremely high currents to ground. A lightning protection system includes a network of air terminals, bonding conductors, and ground electrodes designed to provide a low impedance path to ...

    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. Lightning arrester - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lightning_arrester

    Powerline worker performs maintenance of a lightning arrester on an electrical transmission tower in New Brunswick, Canada. A lightning arrester (alternative spelling lightning arrestor) (also called lightning isolator) is a device, essentially an air gap between an electric wire and ground, used on electric power transmission and telecommunication systems to protect the insulation and ...

  8. Lightning strike - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lightning_strike

    A lightning rod (or lightning protector) is a metal strip or rod connected to earth through conductors and a grounding system, used to provide a preferred pathway to ground if lightning terminates on a structure. The class of these products is often called a "finial" or "air terminal".

  9. Ufer ground - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ufer_Ground

    The extremely dry soil conditions would have required hundreds of feet of rods to be driven into the earth to create a low impedance ground to protect the buildings from lightning strikes. In 1942, Herbert G. Ufer was a consultant working for the U.S. Army. Ufer was given the task of finding a lower cost and more practical alternative to ...
