IEEE Expert Lightning Protection Consulting and Grounding Design
The Lightning Security Specialists
The world’s best and most critical expertise for the proper implementation of IEEE Standard 1692; which is a treatise for multi-purpose communications and high-voltage installations. We have found from forty one (41) years of experience, and special expertise, that it’s far too easy to “get it wrong” in cookie-cutter applications of the tried-and-true requirements of Standard 1692, leaving expensive equipment vulnerable to costly damage and weeks off line for extensive repair.
The most important aspect in the application of IEEE Standard 1692 is that the final protection package design has to be perfectly correct in every aspect to provide failure-proof protection. One small error in proper application can make a protection design package totally useless.

Ground Potential Rise (GPR) isolation and lightning protection and grounding consulting and design for military communication sites, high-rise buildings, swimming pools, police and fire stations..
Ground Potential Rise (GPR) isolation and lightning protection and grounding consulting and design for railroad communication sites and railroad switching facilities as well as for every other kind of building, site and facility.
We provide no products, only consulting, design, and recommendations for the best lightning protection and grounding installations for substations, electronic circuit boards, equipment components, power plants, high-voltage corridors, and broadband services for school systems.
GPR = A Ground Potential Rise = A Ground Voltage Spike
A lightning strike to any grounded structure or a high-voltage flashover from a power line to a grounded structure will cause the ground in the vicinity to rise in voltage to dangerously high levels, which can electrocute personnel standing on the ground in the area and damage or destroy electronic equipment connected to ground.
This site was created because Ground Potential Rise (GPR), caused either by lightning strike or high-voltage electrical system power faulting to ground, causes unnecessary damage to manufacturing and storage facilities with critical stores – including explosive munitions, flight operations equipment, communications towers and antennas, communications equipment, and critical electronic equipment as well as putting critical communication links and operations and maintenance personnel at risk.
Practicing what you learn here will allow your company or organization to cut costs, remain operational even under severe lightning conditions and may save your life or the life of a coworker.
