An installed lightning protection system still needs inspection and testing to confirm the conductors and earth connections remain serviceable. Electrical Testing Services (ETS) can coordinate testing of existing systems where the service is available.

An installed lightning protection system still needs inspection and testing to confirm the conductors and earth connections remain serviceable. Electrical Testing Services (ETS) can coordinate testing of existing systems where the service is available.
Lightning conductors provide a controlled path toward earth when a strike reaches the structure. Damage, corrosion, building changes or disturbed connections can affect that path over time. Testing combines a visual inspection with electrical measurements completed by appropriately qualified personnel. The scope depends on the system design and access to each component.
A building lightning protection system manages the path of a strike through dedicated conductors and earth terminations. Surge protective devices address transient overvoltage within the electrical installation. Both may form part of a property's protection strategy, but they perform different functions and require separate assessment.
The inspection report identifies the component tested, measured result and any visible defect. Repairs or engineering review can then be planned around the system and property requirements. Service availability should be confirmed for the location before the inspection is scheduled.
ETS coordinates lightning protection testing through personnel qualified for the inspection and measurement work. The procedure is matched to the installed system.
Earth resistance testing and conductor assessment require appropriate electrical expertise. Specialist input can be arranged within the confirmed service scope.
Recorded measurements and visual findings give the property team a clear basis for repair or further assessment.
ETS operates under NATA accreditation for applicable inspection activities and maintains certified management systems for quality, safety and environmental performance.
ETS has delivered electrical inspection services since 2002. Its national network can confirm lightning protection service availability across supported locations.
ETS has offices and strategically located personnel throughout Australia. The team supports individual properties, regional programs and national portfolios through one service provider.
