Do We Really Require Lightning Rod Protection

1. Do We Really Require Lightning Rod Protection?

2. The answer is a simple YES. Reason: • The world has change drastically with the rapid progression of technology but lightning protection for such advancement has not change since Benjamin Franklin’s invention in 1750. • Increased equipment vulnerability due to migration from era of Electrical/Analog to Digital/Electronics • Increased dependency on automation and artificial intelligence demands "zero" downtime • Requirement of system reliability for continuous critical operations

3. Solution: By installing Dissipation Array System, patented by LEC, you can limit the build-up of static charge on the area of protection and discourage secondary and EMP effect, damage to equipment and disruptions in operations caused by direct or nearby lightning strikes thereby enhancing site reliability. The DAS comprises of 3 major components: the Ionizer, Down Conductor and Ground Electrode. Under the influence of the thunderstorm, the DAS continuously transfers charges from the surface of the earth up to the Ionizer, dissipating these charges into the air to create corona space charges above the protected facility. This corona space charge provides a shielding effect for the objects of protection from the influence of electric field generated by the storm. The lightning rod protection principle is to suppress or delay the formation of upward streamers generated from the protected facility. This makes the facility the least potential position to generate a counter leader, a necessary pre-cursor to a complete lightning termination. No counter leaders, no lightning termination.

4. The importance of the lightning rod protection system lies in the protection of human lives, physical structures, and equipment, so when is the best time to plan for lightning rod protection? • During Construction • During Examination Of Structure • During Path to Ground Testing • During Soil Resistivity Testing

5. Did you know that a lightning rod protection ensure how to properly place air terminals, run cable, ground and bond in order to ensure maximum safety in this energy transfer and dissipation. While A surge protective device (SPD) is designed to protect electrical systems and equipment from surge and transient events by limiting transient voltages and diverting surge currents. Together they are the perfect pair for lightning rod protection. Lightning Eliminators and Consultant’s best lightning rod protection system is respected as the industry leading solution and is installed on thousands of towers, buildings, plants, and factories.
