WHAT WE DO
One accountable partner from risk assessment to signed test report
Most lightning protection failures in India come from split responsibility — one party designs, another supplies, a third installs. DFMHUB owns the whole chain.
IS/IEC 62305 Risk Assessment
Quantified risk study that fixes the protection level before a single component is priced.
Rolling Sphere Design
Air termination modelled on your actual roof geometry, not a generic rod-count rule of thumb.
In-House Manufacturing
ARK Make components produced and type-tested to IEC 62561 with batch traceability.
Certified Installation
Trained crews for facade, roof and foundation work, with height-safety compliance.
Documented Testing
Fall-of-potential earth resistance and continuity records for every electrode and test link.
Coordinated Surge Protection
Type 1, 2 and 3 SPD staging so transients never reach sensitive equipment.
Lightning Protection System — ARK Make
Air terminations, mesh and down conductors, test links, bonding and coordinated SPDs, designed by rolling sphere method to the protection level your risk assessment demands.
Structural Earthing — ARK Make
Foundation rebar bonding, copper bonded and chemical electrodes, earth bars and enhancement compound sized from a Wenner soil resistivity survey to IS 3043:2018.
COMPLIANCE
Standards we design and test against
IS/IEC 62305 (Parts 1-4)
Risk assessment, physical damage protection, and protection of electrical & electronic systems.
IS 3043:2018
Indian code of practice for earthing — electrode sizing, resistance limits and soil resistivity method.
IEC 62561 (Parts 1-7)
Type-testing of LPS components: connections, conductors, electrodes, enhancing compounds and test links.
NBC 2016, Part 8
National Building Code requirements for lightning protection of buildings in India.
IEC 61643 / IS 16571
Selection and coordination of surge protective devices for low-voltage systems.
NFPA 780 & NF C 17-102
International practice for LPS installation and early streamer emission terminals, where specified.

Testing
Earth Resistance Testing: Fall-of-Potential, Clamp-On and Which One to Trust
The three field methods used on Indian sites, when each is valid, and the mistakes that produce falsely low readings.
Earthing
Structural Earthing vs Conventional Earth Pits: What Changes on a High-Rise
Using foundation reinforcement as an earth electrode lowers impedance, saves land and is explicitly permitted by IS 3043 and IEC 62305-3.
Frequently asked questions
What does DFMHUB manufacture?
DFMHUB manufactures ARK Make lightning protection system components — air terminals, conductors, clamps, test links, surge protection devices — and a full structural earthing range including copper bonded rods, chemical electrodes, exothermic weld kits, earth bars and inspection chambers, all type-tested to IEC 62561.
Which standards do DFMHUB systems comply with?
Every system is designed and installed to IS/IEC 62305 Parts 1-4, IS 3043:2018, IEC 62561 Parts 1-7, National Building Code 2016 Part 8, and IEC 61643 for surge protection. NFPA 780 and NF C 17-102 are followed where a project specification calls for them.
Do you provide installation as well as materials?
Yes. DFMHUB offers a single-source package: risk assessment, system design, manufactured components, site installation by trained crews, earth resistance and continuity testing, and a documented handover pack for fire NOC, insurance and audit purposes.
Which cities does DFMHUB serve?
We deliver projects across India with dedicated engineering teams for Bengaluru, Chennai, Hyderabad and Pune, and supply ARK Make products nationwide to EPC and electrical contractors.
