Faraday (Cage) System

This is performed by combining the conductors that are placed at suitable distances depending on the protection level and form a cage on top of the building, and providing connection with ground. This provides a protection angle thanks to the rolling sphere method. Attractors called strike points (0.50-2m) are mounted on each important point (chimney, roof bodywork, etc.) around the roof.

The building to be protected with the Faraday cage method will be covered so that there is a continuous and uninterrupted conductor route from the top parts of the building, including the secondary parts, to the ground. This cage has many attractors formed by conductors completed by horizontal connections and is connected to a grounding system. All metal extensions on the main roof or top that are connected to the mass of grounding on purpose or incidentally must be connected to the attractor system, and consist a part of the system. If the height of some parts of the construction varies significantly, the lower attractor or attractor system must be connected to the down conductors of high parts in addition to its own down conductor.
