OBO Lightning Protection System Complete Protection from Nature’s Most Powerful Force
Lightning is one of nature’s most powerful and destructive forces. A single strike can threaten lives, damage buildings, disrupt business operations, and destroy sensitive electrical and electronic equipment. That’s why a properly engineered lightning protection system is no longer optional; it is essential.
The OBO Lightning Protection System is engineered to provide comprehensive protection by safely intercepting lightning strikes, conducting the lightning current to earth, and safeguarding both structures and electrical systems. Designed in accordance with IEC 62305 using components tested to IEC 62561 standards, OBO offers reliable solutions that deliver long-term safety, durability, and peace of mind.

A Complete Lightning Protection Solution
Rather than relying on a single component, OBO provides an integrated protection system where every element works together to minimize the impact of direct lightning strikes and transient surges.
1. Air Termination & Down Conductor System
The first line of defense, air termination systems intercept lightning strikes before they reach the building. The intercepted lightning current is then safely conducted through the down conductor system to the earthing system, protecting the structure from fire hazards and structural damage. OBO offers a wide range of air-termination rods, conductors, clamps, and accessories suitable for residential, commercial, industrial, photovoltaic, and high-risk applications.

2. Earthing SystemA reliable earthing system is essential for safely dissipating lightning currents into the ground. OBO’s corrosion-resistant earthing solutions are designed for a long service life and are suitable for foundation, ring, deep, and grid earthing applications. These solutions are designed in accordance with the requirements of IS/IEC 62305, IS 3043, and the National Building Code (NBC) 2016, ensuring reliable and dependable grounding performance.

4. Surge Protection System
Direct lightning strikes are not the only source of electrical damage. Indirect lightning strikes and switching operations can generate transient overvoltages capable of damaging sensitive electrical and electronic equipment. OBO’s Surge Protection Devices (SPDs) provide reliable protection for power distribution systems, communication networks, and critical electronic equipment, ensuring operational continuity, improved system reliability, and extended equipment life.
