Ultra-high-rise Buildings

Ultra-high-rise Buildings

Direct or nearby lightning strikes can cause lightning to enter buildings, adjacent facilities, or even into buildings through power distribution cables, communication lines, and data cables.

The lightning current from a direct strike that enters a building can cause a significant potential rise relative to the grounding equipment. The voltage drop across the grounding resistance and the potential rise in the surrounding environment create surges, which are among the greatest threats to the building's electrical system.

Surges can also be induced in the building’s electrical installations, interconnected systems, and equipment due to the electromagnetic field generated by lightning.

Solution:

As an expert in comprehensive lightning protection solutions, Xiamen Taihang provides an integrated lightning strike and surge protection solution for super high-rise buildings.

—— Lightning Strike Protection and Surge Protection

Power supply systems and information technology systems need to be protected by a coordinated set of surge protection devices (SPDs) to guard against destructive transient overvoltages.

—— Lightning Proximity Early Warning

Early warning for fast-developing, sudden, and highly destructive localized lightning strikes can be issued before they occur. Based on the warning level, corresponding emergency plans are implemented to manage and control the potential severe hazards caused by lightning, minimizing the damage caused by lightning.

—— Lightning Protection Online Monitoring

By accurately detecting the microampere-level leakage current and lightning strike surge current intensity of surge protection devices (SPDs), the monitoring data is transmitted to the management center's monitoring platform. This enables real-time monitoring of the SPD degradation process, lifespan, and failure alarms. It makes the lightning protection system observable, measurable, controllable, and visible, improving the safety of lightning protection and reducing operation and maintenance costs.
