The materials of an external lightning protection are subject to relatively strong external influences. Play electrolytic processes and the resulting corrosion of the grounding components a major role.
The grounding of course be subjected to a measurement test, the resistance is measured. Fully
Rusty Earth electrodes can not perform their function more at risk and The purpose of the entire lightning protection and must be replaced immediately by new ones.
As with the lightning protection lightning protection method determines the class intervals to be where one test has. To advise is to be carried out every 3 years, a "maintenance service". A lightning protection specialist sees the facility to accurately and performs measurements on the compounds and the earth electrodes. Of course, the work documented and it creates a new test report.
