Know The Best Products Available For Lightning Rod Protection

While lightning rods help protect a structure from a direct strike, a complete lightning rod protection system will help prevent harmful electrical surges and possible fires caused by lightning. An effective lightning rod protection system includes the following five parts: dissipation systems, air terminals (lightning rods), conductors, ground connections (electrodes), bonding, and lightning arrestors.

  1. Know The Best Products Available For Lightning Rod Protection

  2. While lightning rods help protect a structure from a direct strike, a complete lightning rod protection system will help prevent harmful electrical surges and possible fires caused by lightning. An effective lightning rod protection system includes the following five parts: dissipation systems, air terminals (lightning rods), conductors, ground connections (electrodes), bonding, and lightning arrestors. Let's examine some of the best products available that form an integral part of a lightning rod protection system.

  3. DISSIPATION ARRAY SYSTEM The Lightning dissipation system is a very efficient lightning dissipater. When operating as a shield, it reduces the potential between the area of protection and the storm cell by transferring electrical charge to the adjacent ionizing air molecules. This transference represents dissipation or the controlled leakage of the charge, thus reducing the probability of a lightning strike. If the electric charge accumulation rate far exceeds the dissipation rate, the DAS will divert a lightning strike away from the protected equipment and toward a safe, predetermined path to earth. LEC’s “No-Strike” warranty ensures complete protection on all LEC-supervised installations.

  4. CONDUCTORS They carry the lightning discharge safely to the ground by providing a low impedance path from the air termination system to the earth system, making them an integral part of a comprehensive LPS.

  5. GROUND CONNECTIONS (electrodes) Standards for complete lightning protection systems are based on the principle of providing a direct or quasi-direct, low resistance, low impedance path for lightning current to follow safely to the earth. Achieving low impedance requires suitable handling of both the system's resistance and reactance (capacitance and inductance). Our patented grounding system products are: Chem-Rod—Each has a large conductive surface that creates an optimal electrical connection to the earth. The earth/electrode interface is further enhanced by conductive backfill and electrolytic salts, ensuring a consistent path to the ground. Bonding - it allows charges to be routed away from the systems via a common ground potential, which also reduces the risk of side-flash, arcing, and exposure of people to lethal touch potentials resulting from a lightning strike. LEC provides the best-in-class, patented lightning rod protection products and services in the market, built on US and International standards.
