Charge Transfer System – A Lightning Protection System By LEC
Lightning, with its intense electrical energy, is a potent force of nature. The moment a lightning bolt strikes, it can bring about catastrophic damage. It’s not just about the visible flash or the deafening thunderclap; the risks associated with lightning extend far beyond the initial shock. Lightning strikes can cause fires, damage structures, disrupt electrical systems, and harm lives. Every flash of lightning is potentially carrying millions of volts of electricity. Contrary to popular belief, lightning can strike anywhere repeatedly; it doesn’t always strike tall buildings and can even strike up to 80 kilometres away from the point of impact.
The main components are: One or more ionizers - provide a means for point discharge to occur. Down conductor - provides the electrical connection between the charge collector and the ionizers. Charge collector - an interconnected system of grounding electrodes and conductors designed to collect and funnel electrical charge to the ionizers. That’s where lightning protection comes into play as a guardian against these potentially devastating effects. An outdoor lightning protection installation is designed to protect critical structures, equipment, and facilities against lightning's direct and indirect effects.
This lightning protection system by LEC is called a Charge Transfer System. It’s intended to prevent lightning strikes within a protected zone or area. The CTS collects the induced charge developed by thunderstorm clouds from a designated protected area of the earth and transfers this charge through the ionizer into the surrounding air.
Some lightning protection system that functions as CTS are: • Dissipation Array System (DAS) is the name of our patented CTS. The DAS is designed to function in the Prevention Mode with a combination of different multipoint ionizers. • SBIs and SBTs are multipoint ionizers that can be deployed along with DAS to function in the Prevention Mode. Multiple units of either SBI or SBT can be deployed without DAS to function in the CTS Collection Mode. They are normally mounted in groups on elevated structures. • Ion Plasma Generators (IPG) is a multipoint ionizer that functions only in the Collection Mode. Protect your assets, ensure your operations continue uninterrupted, and safeguard the lives within your structure.
