Industrial Lightning Protection FAQs
Answers to common questions about risk assessment, standards, system integration and ongoing maintenance.
How is lightning risk assessed for a manufacturing facility?
A risk assessment considers the structure, location, use, occupancy, incoming services and potential consequences of lightning events. The assessment methodology and applicable criteria should follow the relevant edition of MS IEC 62305-2 and project requirements.
Can lightning protection and surge protection be integrated?
Yes. An engineered protection strategy can coordinate external lightning protection with surge protective devices, equipotential bonding, cable routing and earthing. Device selection and coordination depend on the installation and electrical system.
What is required to protect automated manufacturing equipment?
The assessment may include power supplies, PLCs, instrumentation, communications, control wiring, earthing and bonding. The correct measures depend on the equipment interfaces and identified transient exposure.
Can an older factory’s lightning protection system be upgraded?
An existing installation can be reviewed to identify potential gaps, deterioration, changes to the building or electrical system, and opportunities for upgrades. Available drawings and previous test records are useful starting points.
How often should a lightning protection system be inspected?
Inspection and testing intervals depend on the applicable standard, system type, environment, risk and site-specific requirements. A suitable maintenance schedule should be defined for the facility rather than assuming one interval fits every installation.
Can TAKO design to NFPA requirements for hazardous industrial zones?
Project-specific requirements can be discussed, including applicable NFPA provisions, hazardous-area classification, client specifications and local regulatory obligations. The relevant standard, edition and required scope must be confirmed before any compliance claim is made.
How can we request an industrial lightning protection quotation?
Provide the facility location, building type, project stage and main requirement using the enquiry wizard. Drawings, site information and existing system details may help clarify the scope for a quotation.
