Lightning is transient in nature so it has the ability to produce wild rise times and in some cases large magnitude currents. If a LPS is not in place to limit the voltage imposed by a lightning strike and direct it safely to the ground, the implications can be disastrous. Also, lightning strikes everywhere! This is why lightning protection system is so important.
Lightning protection systems require a whole-building approach in accordance with nationally-recognized standards, including LPI 175, NFPA 780, and UL 96. These standards require: • Strategically located air terminals (lightning rods) at high points on the roof • Ground electrodes designed for the intense surges caused by lightning • A network of heavy-duty lightning conductors to safely conduct current between them. • Surge protective devices must be added to telephone, power, and other services entering the building • To equalize electrical potential throughout the building, the building’s plumbing, HVAC, structure, and other systems must be bonded to the lightning protection system • The lightning protection grounding must be interconnected to the groundings for the building’s electrical and other systems. https://www.lightningprotection.com/
Decades ago lightning protection system was installed to protect structures from the damage caused by lightning strikes. The objective of this protection system was to provide a preferred path for electrical charges from a lightning strike to ground itself, ensuring protection from fire and structural damage. In our modern world, with high tech control systems and computers actually capturing this high voltage of electricity and letting it pass through buildings may not be an ideal solution. LEC’s lightning protection system is an enhancement of the invention that was first initiated by Benjamin Franklin.

LEC's Charge Transfer System (patented as the Dissipation Array System or DAS) uses a naturally occurring, scientific phenomenon called point discharge to retard the collection of lightning within a finite protection zone. LEC does not attract the lightning. LEC's system lowers the static field in the protected area long enough for the lightning strike to terminate outside the protected area. The DAS is engineered to the specific application or site. Is your facility safe from a lightning strike?
