  2. Earthing system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earthing_system

    Grounding connectors. Connectors for earthing installation are a means of communication between the various components of the earthing and lightning protection installations (earthing rods, earthing conductors, current leads, busbars, etc.). For high voltage installations, exothermic welding is used for underground connections.

  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. Multipoint ground - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multipoint_ground

    But this does not change the need for adequate conductor size to any given piece of equipment in case of a fault. Lightning protection is provided by bonding the multipoint ground grid to one or more grounding rods under or at the perimeter of the building, and then up to the lightning rods. If the building has significant metal framing ...

  5. Ring ground - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ring_ground

    A ring ground is a type of electrical ground that is used to protect buildings and equipment from damage due to electrical surges. Ring grounds are typically used as protection against lightning strikes.

  6. 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 ...

  7. Faraday cage - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Faraday_cage

    Faraday cages are also used to protect people and equipment against electric currents such as lightning strikes and electrostatic discharges, because the cage conducts electrical current around the outside of the enclosed space and none passes through the interior.
