With 34% increase in Lightning
Strikes Yearly, This Indian Brand Is Saving Lives and Infrastructure
Every year, lightning claims more lives in India
than any other natural disaster — over 2,800 of deaths, millions of damages,
and rising. Yet, protection remains shockingly neglected. True Power, one of
India’s most trusted names in electrical safety, is changing that.
With decades of expertise in earthing and
surge protection, True Power is leading India’s defense against one of nature’s
deadliest forces. Their latest range of lightning arresters and chemical
earthing systems is designed specifically for Indian conditions — from the
high-resistivity soils of Rajasthan to the storm-heavy coasts of Odisha and
West Bengal.
How Does a Lightning Arrester Work?
When lightning strikes, it naturally seeks the
shortest path to the ground. A lightning arrester, placed at the highest point
of a structure, captures that surge instantly.
It channels the current through down
conductors to a well-engineered earthing system,
Which then safely disperses the charge into
the ground —
Preventing fires, equipment damage, and
fatalities.
Without this system, lightning can travel
through walls, wires, or even human bodies. A single strike can release up to
200,000 amperes — enough to destroy solar plants, inverters, and lives in
seconds.
“You can’t stop lightning, but you can control
what it does next,” says MD Hari OM Tiwari at True Power. “Our mission is to
make every building in India safer — be it a home, hospital, temple, or telecom
tower.”
At the heart of their solution lies a
science-backed, standards-compliant system:
ESE Lightning Arresters with up to 100m
protection radius
Copper-bonded earth electrodes with 20+ year
lifespan
Low-resistance compounds ensuring performance
even in dry zones
Surge Protection Devices for solar rooftops,
panels & DBs
Their installations adhere to IS 3043:2018 and
IEC 62305, ensuring that buildings are not only protected but also pass the
most stringent safety and insurance audits.
In a country where less than 10% of Tier-2/3
buildings have compliant lightning protection, True Power’s work is more than
commercial — it’s critical. Today, True Power’s solutions are already being
adopted by major solar parks, telecom providers, schools, and government
buildings across Rajasthan, Tamil Nadu, Maharashtra, Odisha, and West Bengal
and across globe.
As monsoon intensifies and infrastructure
modernizes, one thing is clear:
You do not just need protection. It needs True
Power.
