When lightning strikes, its goal is to reach the ground. If there isn’t a clear path to the ground, then it will strike any electrical conductor available. This could be a phone line, pipes, or any other metal conductor. Once lightning has struck a conductor, it moves through the object, transferring as needed to other conductors until it reaches the ground. Having a lightning protection system will help send the lighting safely to the ground, reducing the risk of fire and electrical damage to your business. This type of protection cannot prevent a strike, but it can significantly increase the safety of you and your home.
