The Lightning Issue
The lightning is a natural phenomenon, defined as electrical shock between two zones of opposite polarity, between the cloud and the ground. The result is a current lasting some tenths of microseconds which will generate side effects, transient overvoltages, which are much more destructive than the discharge itself.
The development and the increasing brittleness of electronic or computing equipment entail a bigger sensibility with surges. The lightning constitutes a real threat for companies’ equipment but also for independent profession or even private individuals. Against lightning itself , The technique of protection consists in capturing the discharge to divert it from its initial target.
The lightning will be got, for example, according to the technique of the "lightning conductor" or the “meshed cage" and will save the site, however your electronic equipment will not be protected against the side effects.
