Lightning Rod Report

This document presents a report on the preventive maintenance carried out on the lightning rods of a company's buildings. It briefly explains what lightning rods are and their function of protecting installations against electrical storms. It describes that a calculation was made, a single-line diagram was prepared, and the electrical panels were labeled. Finally, it concludes that the maintenance was performed by qualified personnel and in compliance with the required times and safety measures.

BACKGROUND
The project on preventive maintenance for lightning rods is designed to
that protects against situations of thunderstorms and that these phenomena
atmospheric conditions do not affect the installations, machines, and electronic equipment that
are located in the different ships of the company. Likewise providing a
trust that these atmospheric factors will drain their energy into the system of
lands where this potential dissipates without causing damage in its wake.

Lightning rods are aerial terminals designed for proper external protection.
of a building. It withstands direct impacts from lightning, as its design and
use is to support and capture discharges of electric potential originated by
atmospheric phenomena.
Its installation is located at the highest part of a structure, ship or
building where protection from lightning strikes is required.
A lightning bolt is a strong natural discharge of static electricity produced during
a thunderstorm that generates an electromagnetic pulse. The discharge
electric discharge of lightning is accompanied by the emission of light (known as
lightning) caused by the passage of electric current, which ionizes the molecules of
air; and by the sound of thunder, caused by the shockwave.

The electricity that passes through the atmosphere heats and expands rapidly.
the air, producing the characteristic sound of thunder.

Lightning can cause different effects: thermal, physiological,


electrodynamic or electrochemical, among others.

The thermal and physiological effects are the most important. The thermal effects are
due to the high temperature reached by the channel through which the current flows
a lightning bolt, leaving temperatures of up to 20,000 degrees. On the other hand, the effects
Physiological effects on living beings are due to the tensions after the discharge.
