Why External Lightning Protection Isn’t Optional—It’s Essential?
₹2,500+ Crore — estimated annual lightning damage to Indian infrastructure
2,000+ deaths annually in India from lightning strikes
72 hours — Average downtime for an unprotected facility after a strike
The Reality for Your Facility:
- Solar Power Plants: A single strike can destroy inverters, panels, and monitoring systems worth lakhs
- Industrial Facilities: Production downtime, equipment damage, worker safety incidents
- Commercial Buildings: Fire hazards, electronic system failures, liability exposure
- Oil & Gas / Substations: Catastrophic risk to critical infrastructure and personnel
The question isn’t whether lightning will strike. It’s whether you’ll be ready when it does.
ARK Make External Lightning Protection System –A Complete External Lightning Protection System — Engineered from Ground to Sky
Unlike traders who assemble mismatched components, ARK Make systems are designed as integrated solutions. Every component—from air terminals to earthing electrodes—is engineered for electrical continuity, mechanical durability, and long-term corrosion resistance.
- System Architecture (IEC 62305 Based)

DESIGN METHODOLOGY –Engineering-First Approach — Not Guesswork
Our IEC 62305 Risk Assessment Process considered for ARK-Make External Lightning Protection system products
Step 1: Site Data Collection
- Structure dimensions & materials
- Lightning flash density (Ng) for location
- Soil resistivity measurement
- Occupancy type & loss categories
Step 2: Risk Calculation (IEC 62305-2)
- R1: Risk of loss of human life
- R2: Risk of loss of service to public
- R3: Risk of loss of cultural heritage
- R4: Risk of loss of economic value
Step 3: Protection Level Determination
- LPL I (highest): R > 10⁻⁵
- LPL II: 10⁻⁵ > R > 10⁻⁶
- LPL III: 10⁻⁶ > R > 10⁻⁷
- LPL IV: R < 10⁻⁷
Step 4: Design Method Selection
- Rolling Sphere Method (RSM)
- Protection Angle Method
- Mesh Method
- Or combination based on structure
