Lightning Protection Adequacy Study Services by DFMHUB
A Lightning Protection Adequacy Study is a critical engineering assessment to verify whether an existing lightning protection and earthing system is safe, compliant, and sufficient for protecting people, structures, and sensitive electrical/electronic equipment.
DFMHUB offers professional Lightning Protection Adequacy Study services across India, designed for industrial plants, commercial buildings, data centers, solar power plants, oil & gas facilities, telecom towers, hospitals, and high-rise structures.
Our study aligns with IEC 62305, IS/IEC standards, NBC of India, and insurance audit requirements.
What Is a Lightning Protection Adequacy Study?
A Lightning Protection Adequacy Study evaluates:
The risk of lightning strikes
The effectiveness of existing lightning arrestors
The integrity of down conductors and bonding
The performance of earthing systems
The need for upgradation or redesign
The objective is to ensure that your facility is adequately protected against direct strikes, side flashes, step & touch potentials, and surge-induced damages.

FAQs – Lightning Protection Adequacy Study
Is Lightning Protection Adequacy Study mandatory?
While not always mandatory, it is often required for insurance approvals, statutory audits, and critical infrastructure projects.
How often should an adequacy study be conducted?
Recommended every 2–3 years or after any major modification, lightning event, or equipment failure.
Do you provide redesign solutions if the system is inadequate?
Yes. DFMHUB provides design upgrades, BOQ, and execution support if improvements are required.
Which standards do you follow?
We strictly follow IEC 62305, IS standards, and National Building Code (NBC) of India.
Do you cover earthing system testing as part of the study?
Yes. Earthing resistance, continuity, and bonding checks are an integral part of our adequacy study.
