An equipotential must be established in the facility via local equipotential bonding. Otherwise, due to resistance differences, surges may occur in the facility. Attention should also be paid to the anti-corrosive properties of the lightning rod and grounding materials. <span style=\"color: #ff6600;\"><strong><em>Lightning rod measurement<\/em> <\/strong><\/span>should be performed regularly, just like lightning rod maintenance. If the measurement result exceeds the recommended value, the resistance is reduced by making additions. Using chemicals to reduce <strong>grounding resistance<\/strong> provides only a temporary solution; instead, additional grounding rods should be used.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_5181\" style=\"width: 648px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/yilkomer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/paratoner-olcumu.jpg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-5181\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-5181\" class=\"size-full wp-image-5181\" src=\"https:\/\/yilkomer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/paratoner-olcumu.jpg\" alt=\"Have your lightning rod measurements carried out regularly.\" width=\"638\" height=\"340\" srcset=\"https:\/\/yilkomer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/paratoner-olcumu.jpg 638w, https:\/\/yilkomer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/paratoner-olcumu-300x160.jpg 300w, https:\/\/yilkomer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/paratoner-olcumu-260x139.jpg 260w, https:\/\/yilkomer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/paratoner-olcumu-50x27.jpg 50w, https:\/\/yilkomer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/paratoner-olcumu-141x75.jpg 141w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width:767px) 480px, 638px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-5181\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Have your lightning rod measurements carried out regularly.<\/p><\/div>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Request a free site survey now.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">\n<div class=\"wpcf7 no-js\" id=\"wpcf7-f48604-o1\" lang=\"en-US\" dir=\"ltr\" data-wpcf7-id=\"48604\">\n<div class=\"screen-reader-response\"><p role=\"status\" aria-live=\"polite\" aria-atomic=\"true\"><\/p> <ul><\/ul><\/div>\n<form action=\"\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/48607#wpcf7-f48604-o1\" method=\"post\" class=\"wpcf7-form init\" aria-label=\"Contact form\" novalidate=\"novalidate\" data-status=\"init\">\n<fieldset class=\"hidden-fields-container\"><input type=\"hidden\" name=\"_wpcf7\" value=\"48604\" \/><input type=\"hidden\" name=\"_wpcf7_version\" value=\"6.1.5\" \/><input type=\"hidden\" name=\"_wpcf7_locale\" value=\"en_US\" \/><input type=\"hidden\" name=\"_wpcf7_unit_tag\" value=\"wpcf7-f48604-o1\" \/><input type=\"hidden\" name=\"_wpcf7_container_post\" value=\"0\" \/><input type=\"hidden\" name=\"_wpcf7_posted_data_hash\" value=\"\" \/><input type=\"hidden\" name=\"_wpcf7_recaptcha_response\" value=\"\" \/>\n<\/fieldset>\n<p>Your Full Name (required)\n<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"wpcf7-form-control-wrap\" data-name=\"your-name\"><input size=\"40\" maxlength=\"400\" class=\"wpcf7-form-control wpcf7-text wpcf7-validates-as-required\" aria-required=\"true\" aria-invalid=\"false\" value=\"\" type=\"text\" name=\"your-name\" \/><\/span>\n<\/p>\n<p>Your Email (required)\n<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"wpcf7-form-control-wrap\" data-name=\"your-email\"><input size=\"40\" maxlength=\"400\" class=\"wpcf7-form-control wpcf7-email wpcf7-validates-as-required wpcf7-text wpcf7-validates-as-email\" aria-required=\"true\" aria-invalid=\"false\" value=\"\" type=\"email\" name=\"your-email\" \/><\/span>\n<\/p>\n<p>Phone (required)\n<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"wpcf7-form-control-wrap\" data-name=\"tel-359\"><input size=\"40\" maxlength=\"400\" class=\"wpcf7-form-control wpcf7-tel wpcf7-validates-as-required wpcf7-text wpcf7-validates-as-tel\" aria-required=\"true\" aria-invalid=\"false\" value=\"\" type=\"tel\" name=\"tel-359\" \/><\/span>\n<\/p>\n<p>Company Information (required)\n<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"wpcf7-form-control-wrap\" data-name=\"text-274\"><input size=\"40\" maxlength=\"400\" class=\"wpcf7-form-control wpcf7-text wpcf7-validates-as-required\" aria-required=\"true\" aria-invalid=\"false\" value=\"\" type=\"text\" name=\"text-274\" \/><\/span>\n<\/p>\n<p>Could you briefly provide information about your survey request?\n<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"wpcf7-form-control-wrap\" data-name=\"your-message\"><textarea cols=\"40\" rows=\"10\" maxlength=\"2000\" class=\"wpcf7-form-control wpcf7-textarea\" aria-invalid=\"false\" name=\"your-message\"><\/textarea><\/span>\n<\/p>\n<p><input class=\"wpcf7-form-control wpcf7-submit has-spinner\" type=\"submit\" value=\"Send\" \/>\n<\/p><div class=\"wpcf7-response-output\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/div>\n<\/form>\n<\/div>\n<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Lightning rods, which are external lightning protection systems, provide protection against the physical effects of lightning.
