Lightning Protection systems need to be Tested, as well as visually inspected. Manual testing of lightning conductors and earth grounding installations needs to be carried out by a qualified Electrical Engineer. Each individual earth grounding point and its conductors are electronically tested for resistance to ground.
If you live in an area that is prone to lightning strikes, or if you have a property that is particularly vulnerable to damage, routine testing and inspections is a wise investment.
A Lightning Protection Test (LPT) involves a visual inspection and manual testing of lightning conductors and earth grounding installations, carried out by a qualified Electrical Engineer. Each individual earth grounding point and its conductors are electronically tested for resistance to ground.
ETS can also install surge suppressor (or surge protectors) in your switchboards, a surge suppressor will help to prevent damage to sensitive and expensive electronic equipment from voltage spikes, or transients. If you have too much voltage running through an outlet, it can cause electrical issues or even a fire. To help prevent this problem, surge protectors are used.
