Lightning protection building

1, equalizing ring

Equalizing ring is a horizontal lightning protection zone designed for high-rise buildings to prevent side lightning strikes. In architectural design, when the height exceeds the radius of the ball (30 meters for the first stage, 45 meters for the second stage and 60 meters for the third stage), a equalizing ring is set every 6 meters. In the design, the equalizing ring can be welded into a closed ring by using two main bars in the ring beam, and this closed ring must be connected with all down leads.
