Safeguarding Malaysia’s Infrastructure
Since TAKO’s establishment in 1979, it has been at the forefront of Malaysia’s industrial safety landscape. With over four decades of experience, TAKO has built a strong reputation as a trusted provider of earthing and lightning protection systems, delivering reliable, high-quality solutions to industries across the nation. In a country where frequent thunderstorms pose significant risks, TAKO’s systems have become essential for protecting vital infrastructure. This blog will delve into how TAKO’s solutions safeguard your assets, why we are the premier choice for industrial protection, and how our innovative products have become indispensable for businesses throughout Malaysia.
Why Earthing and Lightning Protection Matter in Malaysia
Malaysia is known for its high frequency of thunderstorms, ranking among the top countries globally in terms of lightning density. This natural phenomenon presents a constant threat to businesses, making effective lightning protection and earthing systems not just a precaution but a necessity.
Earthing systems play a crucial role in electrical safety by providing a controlled path for excess electrical currents to flow into the ground, thereby preventing dangerous shocks and fires. Without proper earthing, electrical faults can lead to catastrophic outcomes, including damage to sensitive equipment, loss of data, and even injuries to personnel.
On the other hand, lightning protection systems are specifically designed to intercept and safely redirect the massive electrical energy of a lightning strike away from buildings and their contents. This technology is vital for protecting structures, electrical equipment, and the lives of those within them. In the absence of a reliable lightning protection system, a single lightning strike can result in extensive damage, leading to costly repairs, operational downtime, and significant financial losses.
The importance of proper installation and regular maintenance of these systems cannot be overstated. A well-maintained earthing and lightning protection system not only minimizes the risk of lightning-induced damage but also ensures continuous protection over the lifespan of your infrastructure. TAKO’s role in providing industrial protection solutions is indispensable in this context, as we help businesses safeguard their assets and ensure the safety of employees and clients alike.

Can earthing protect us from lightning?
Earthing works in conjunction with lightning arrestors to provide protection. A lightning arrestor is a conductive device that quickly grounds the lightning, allowing the earthing system to channel the energy safely into the ground. For example, when lightning strikes a building, it could cause structural damage, but earthing helps mitigate this risk by redirecting the electrical energy.
What is the difference between earthing and a lightning arrestor?
A lightning arrestor typically connects to both high-voltage and ground terminals. In contrast, earthing establishes a connection between electrical equipment and the ground through a low-resistance path, enabling the safe discharge of electrical energy back to the earth.
What is the earthing protection system in Malaysia?
Malaysia uses a TN-S earthing system, where the earth and neutral conductors are separated at the supply point. This system provides protection against voltage surges and the accumulation of static electricity, which can damage electrical equipment and pose safety hazards.
What is proper grounding for lightning protection?
Ground rods should be 8 feet long and fully driven into the earth, with their tops buried 4 to 8 inches below the surface. The bonding wire must be securely clamped onto the ground rods with bronze clamps and buried at least 18 inches beneath the ground.
What is earthing and lightning protection?
Earthing is a safety measure that ensures any electrical faults are safely redirected to the ground, reducing the risk of damage or injury. Lightning protection involves a system of devices designed to safeguard buildings and their occupants from the harmful effects of lightning strikes.
