What are the risks of lightning strikes?

Did you know that lightning strikes the ground over 300,000 times a year in the UK alone, and without proper protection, buildings that are prone to lightning strikes put their user at risk of injury? Each bolt of lightning can carry up to one billion volts of energy and can reach temperatures of 28,000c. This specific energy has the power to take out a whole electrical system in a building by creating a power surge that can cause great damage to electrical equipment. It can also potentially electrocute anyone near these electrical devices. However, a simple installation of a faraday cage can help to reduce that risk. Using faraday cages is an excellent way of protecting the hospitals and schools, telecommunication systems, historic buildings and churches as well as other types of commercial and industrial buildings.

Faraday cages are formed by fitting tapes to both roofs and walls of a building, giving lightning strikes a designated route for the current to travel to the ground without affecting the building’s structure or the people inside it. Faraday cages work by applying an electrical charge to the cage which doesn’t affect the building or the people inside. So, when the cage is exposed to an electric field, i.e. lighting strikes, the negatively charged electrons on its surface move in response. This leads to one side of the faraday cage having a negative charge and the other having a positive charge, inducing a strong electric field across the cage that opposes and cancels out the new energy being applied to the surface thus helping it find the quickest way to the ground.
