Introduction
Electricity is vital for industrial plants to function properly, and it usually consists of several different electrical systems (like transformers, LT panels, PLC systems, VFD panels, control rooms, UPSs, data networks and automation equipment). When lightning strikes or electrical power surges happen, they can severely damage these systems, cause safety hazards, interrupt production and jeopardise business continuity. Therefore, you should consider performing a lightning risk assessment before you install any lightning protection systems, surge protection systems, earthing systems or grounding systems.
A proper assessment helps identify the level of risk based on the facility structure, location, power network, sensitive equipment, and operational importance.
