Ground Connection and Lightning Rod
CCCC90
The main function of the Ground Plugs and the Lightning Rod is to protect people and facilities against unwanted discharges or derivations.
What is electrical grounding?
The ground is a safety conductor that offers little resistance and that diverts electrical current leaks to the ground, and in this way protects the user against electrical derivations that may exist or appear.
The ground connection in the wiring distribution of an electrical installation is identified with a sheath on the yellow and green cables.
This circuit will connect to the building's own ground, which is a buried metal piece, normally copper due to its good conductivity and is known by the name of Earth Rod.
The spike can be accompanied by special salts that improve its conductivity with the earth.
What are the functions of Grounding?
Provide a low impedance path to ground.
Withstand and dissipate repeated fault currents and short circuits or lightning strikes.
Be corrosion resistant to ensure its performance throughout the useful life of the installation to be protected.
What is a Lightning Rod?
A lightning rod is a metal device installed outdoors and at height whose function is to attract lightning or electric discharge in order to establish a controlled impact point, and thus avoid unwanted actions to people and facilities.
The lightning rods are connected to a ground outlet so that when lightning strikes the lightning rod, all the energy is diverted to the earth.
