Charge Transfer Lightning Protection System For Your Facilities

Charge Transfer Lightning Protection System For Your Facilities

The necessity for reliable lightning protection cannot be overstated in a world where our reliance on technology and electrical equipment is ever-increasing. There are several compelling motives for investing in lightning protection, specifically for businesses: The safety of personnel, customers, and anyone inside a facility is paramount.

• Shielding your business premises from structural harm, equipment damage, and expensive repairs is not just a precaution but a vital financial safeguard.

• In an era when companies rely on an uninterrupted power supply and operational technology, any disruption can lead to economic losses. Lightning protection ensures that business operations remain unaffected.

• Lightning surges can render electronic devices and machinery inoperative. Lightning protection prevents electrical surges, which, in turn, elongates the lifespan of costly equipment.

LEC Recommends Charge Transfer Systems:

■ One or more ionizers: The CTS gathers the induced current developed by thunderstorm clouds from a selected threatened area on the ground and then transfers this charge through the ionizer into the nearby air. The ionizers offer a medium for point discharge to occur. They do not guarantee a lightning strike

■ Down Conductors: At least two down conductors are placed in a structure. They provide the electrical connection between the charge collector and the ionizers. They help protect structures when properly installed

■ Charge Collectors: Charge collectors are an interconnected network of grounding electrodes and conductors developed to collect and conduit electrical charge to the ionizers.

LEC recommends

One such patented lightning protection system is the Dissipation Array System (DAS): DAS uses a specialized structure and ground plates to dissipate the electrical charge of an impending lightning strike. They effectively protect open areas and are often used in manufacturing and oil & gas installations.

The Spline Ball Ionizer (SBI) is another patented lightning protection system that works on charge transfer. Its unique design and geometry enable it to collect an incoming strike from virtually any direction, creating a more extensive protection area than a standard air terminal.
