A lightning rod protects the building, but does it protect... electronics? Time for part 2 of our training!

22-04-2026

Recently, we introduced you to the world of surges and direct discharges. (Watch the first part) Today, we are taking a step further by tackling a topic responsible for nearly 90% of modern electronics damage.

We are talking about indirect discharges (LEMP).

In the new episode on our YouTube channel, we discuss why protecting a building can paradoxically harm the installation?

From this video, you will learn:

  • What the "lightning rod paradox" is and how to avoid it?
  • The right-hand rule in practice – what you need to know as a designer or installer?
  • How to effectively protect devices from magnetic impulse (LEMP)?
  • This training is a must-watch for anyone who cares about the reliability of LAN, CCTV, or automation systems.

Watch the second part of the training on YouTube: Watch!
