Lightning Protection – What You Need To Know

1. Lightning Protection – What You Need To Know

2. The modern industrial business landscape is one that relies heavily on technologically advanced, mission-specific equipment in order to perform critical tasks. Most times they provide only minimal levels of protection against the elements leaving them open to potential damage from both natural and manmade sources – violent electrical storms and lightning strikes, nor the resulting power surges which account for a large percentage of damage to critical components in the field. Lightning protection systems are used to prevent or lessen lightning strike damage to buildings. They protect the internal electrical components of a building, helping to prevent fires or electrocution. Lightning protection comes in the form of a lightning conductor, usually a metal rod, mounted on a building to protect it from lightning strikes. The system will intercept a strike so if lightning hits the building, the lightning rod will be hit first, causing the strike to be conducted through a wire, and passing through to the ground safely.

3. This is the traditional method of lightning protection. The more modern approach is called Dissipation Array System, developed and patented by LEC. DAS does not attract the lightning. This system lowers the static field in the protected area long enough for the lightning strike to terminate outside the protected area. In other words it prevents upward-rising lightning leaders (or streamers) from being created on the protected structure. Without these upward rising leaders, which are essential for lightning collection, the lightning will not be able to hit that structure.

4. Our products protect: Remote radio head architectures (these support the implementation of 4G and 5G networks). These systems ensure network uptime and preserve the carrier’s budgets allocated for maintenance and repairs. Electric supply lines. These lightning protection systems are deployed at multiple points along the power supply cables and connection point to mitigate the risk to equipment caused due to an electrical surge. They regulate the flow of electricity and keep the systems online without failure.
