Abstract
Lightning Protection and Grounding of Electrical and Mechanical equipment’s for the Protection of the Human Beings, Structure of the building and equipment protection, safe working of the Worker at Industry as per my latest practical knowledge in the site environment in extreme climatic condition of low lying areas of the Gulf Region in the challenging projects. All the conductor calculation, Lightning Risk Factor calculations, all the system information regarding the level of protection required for site are mentioned in this paper. Lightning, Electrical and Mechanical Equipment surge protection is the one of the major complicated protection in the World as it is un predictable. As both can cause major causality and damage the building and equipment’s in the path way surroundings. As per the world status there are more number of causalities as occurred due to Lighting and short circuit errors. Grounding of the electrical and mechanical equipment can have low potential difference hence will not cause much damage as the surge current has easy path to the ground. Complete information regarding the Lightning and Surge arrestor system is illustrated as per my findings while working as the Design Electrical Engineer.
