The purpose of a TELTRON Lightning Protection System is to intercept all lightning strikes to a building, redirect them to the ground, and distribute them evenly across the ground. In order to prevent dangerous flashovers and lightning-caused fires, all metallic installations in the building must be made at equal potential. An TELTRON Lightning Protection System is regarded as the most effective measure for protecting the structure and its contents against physical damage or degradation. The goal is to prevent thermal, mechanical, and electrical effects that can cause damage to the protected structure or to humans via touch or step voltages within the structure.
