LPI Lightning Protection system & the need of safety lightning is one of the most devastating natural phenomena.There are many discharges during lightning storms and some of them can even reach hundreds of kilo amperes. The electrical discharges are a great hazard to people, animal, buildings and electronic equipment’s. The economic consequences of lightning are also very important, it can cause fire, stop production of a factory or interrupt critical processes. A direct lightning discharge lasts a very short time but the intensity is enough to provoke electrocution resulting in heart failure and causing burns of different degrees to the human beings. Lightning is a constant hazard where the buildings and equipment’s are becoming more complex and sensitive every day. One lightning strike discharge can damage the buildings and cause failures to the electronic devices inside the building and sometimes it may even results in fire and important economical losses. Until now, there is no device that can prevent lightning formation or lightning strikes.

However, it is possible to create a path (divert) for the lightning discharge to the ground which will minimize the damage to the environment through a well- designed Lightning Protection System (LPS).
