- Abstract
Buildings with a high risk of lightning strikes due to factors such as height, geographical location, and strategic function must be equipped with a lightning protection system. The primary purpose of installing a lightning rod is to protect the building structure, electronic equipment and ensure the safety of occupants or users of the building. Mranggen Village Office, located in Srumbung District, Magelang Regency, is situated in a mountainous area near Mount Merapi. The building has two floors with a total height of 18 meters, classifying it as a high-risk structure for lightning strikes. As a mitigation measure, an electrostatic lightning protection system based on the Early Streamer Emission (ESE) method was installed. This specialized protection system is designed to intercept lightning discharges before they strike the protected structure. It functions by generating an upward streamer earlier than conventional lightning rods, thereby increasing the likelihood that the lightning discharge will follow the ESE path to the ground. This proactive approach offers a wider protection radius compared to traditional systems. The implementation of the KURN R150 electrostatic lightning rod, mounted at a height of 3 meters above the highest point of the building, is based on its specifications. The system is capable of providing a protection radius of up to 133 meters, covering a total protected area of approximately 55,543 m2. This coverage includes not only the Village Office itself but also a nearby temple structure located approximately 50 meters from the site. Lightning currents are safely channeled to the ground through a grounding system consisting of two rod electrodes. The measured ground resistance value is 0.63 Ohms, which complies with the requirements of SNI 03-7015-2004, which sets a maximum allowable resistance of 5 Ohms. With a protection system that meets national standards, the safety of the building, its electronic systems, and the surrounding community is expected to be effectively safeguarded from lightning hazards.
