By installing a grounding system customised to your needs, we ensure that the captured lightning current is safely discharged into the ground and that potential equalisation is established between the down conductor system and a potential control system on the property. For potential control, your grounding system is connected to the down conductors of the external lightning protection on the one hand and to the power distribution and internal lightning protection on the other.
One of the main requirements of our highly qualified and experienced planning and installation teams is the realisation of a common grounding system for the various electrical systems of your property, which is connected to the main equipotential bonding system. With regard to earth electrode selection, we check the optimum earth electrode type for lightning protection for you as part of the planning process, which is suitable in view of your structural system, the local conditions and environmental factors.
The VDE 0185-305-3 lightning protection standard distinguishes between two different types of earth electrodes:
