How It Works

A moving thunderstorm gathers a pool of positively charged particles along the ground that travel with the storm. As the differences in charge continue to increase, positively charged particles rise up taller objects such as trees, houses, and telephone poles.

The negatively charged area in the storm will send out a charge toward the ground called a stepped or downward leader. When the downward leader gets close to the ground it is attracted by positively charged objects and a channel develops. You see the electrical transfer in this channel as lightning. There may be several return strokes of electricity within the established channel that is seen as flickering lightning.

Risk Assessment

The current standard UL96 and NFPA780 requires a detailed risk assessment to be carried out to determine what level of protection is required to protect your building. Tennessee is in the second-highest flash density zone. Protecting your electronic equipment with surge protection and lightning rods from Tennessee Lighting Protection for structures is an investment in downtime prevention to protect from monetary loss.
