Lightning equipotential protection bonding /
surge protection
Consistent lightning equipotential bonding is an important basis for the safe func-
tioning of the entire lightning protection system. For an effective surge protection 3
concept, it is important to ensure that the three-stage protection principle is ob-
served.
