Lightning Rod Protection For Newly Constructed Factories

2. It has been said that two guys with a pickup truck and a ladder constitute a lightning protection company. That may have been true 50 years ago in the case of lightning protection for a barn, but not for today’s large existing plants or construction of a new plants. The level of sophistication required because of the nature of the facility and nature of the project is vastly different. Even 50 years ago, when process control systems were primarily mechanical, pneumatic, and hydraulic with switches connecting relays and motor driven valves, industrial processes were less sensitive to lightning strikes and their secondary effects. Today, however, instrumentation including PCs, servers, sensors, integrated circuits, and programmable logic controllers (PLCs) are minutely sensitive to lightning’s enormous electrical transients and its secondary effects such as EMP, which can fry hardware, corrupt data, and disrupt processes, which conventional lightning rod protection can inadvertently make worse. New technologies can provide a comprehensive solution with up to a 100% no-strike warranty.

3. Conventional lightning rods were never intended to protect modern computer equipment or electronic process control systems. The “Franklin lightning rod protection was intended to prevent fires to wooden structures by conducting lightning’s intense currents and voltages to ground. Hundreds of years later, lightning rods still perform the same functions; however, it’s a poor choice as your only protection of today’s sensitive electronic, control, telecommunications, or data storage equipment. Today many engineers still maintain budgets for lightning rod protection equipment, and recommend the Dissipation Array System (DAS), a charge transfer technology based product, as a comprehensive, complimentary, preventive solution for lightning rod protection.

4. DAS essentially prevents strikes by continually lowering the voltage differential between the ground and charged storm clouds to well below lightning potential within a calculated protection zone. Since it prevents lightning strikes within the protection zone, DAS is possibly the best long-term solution to lightning strike problems. In applications ranging from communications towers to petrochemical tank farms, electrical power transmission lines to public buildings, thousands of DAS systems have been installed worldwide with over 99.9% effective protection. From simple lightning rod protection to lightning prevention with a no-strike warranty, we are at the forefront of maintaining industrial equipment and process uptime in the face of lightning threat.
