A lightning protection system is designed to protect a structure from damage due to lightning strikes by intercepting such strikes. It safely passes their extremely high currents to ground.
It is impossible to determine when or where lightning will strike, but the risk remains. Of the violent forces of nature, lightning causes more deaths and property damage than any other. In the United States alone, lightning accounts for more than one billion dollars in property damages annually. Luckily, lightning is one force of nature economically viable from which to protect. At approximately less than 1% of the total new project cost, lightning protection is economical, practical and prudent.
A typical lightning protection system includes a network of air terminals, bonding conductors, and ground electrodes that are designed to provide a low impedance path to ground for potential strikes. They are used to prevent or lessen lightning strike damage to structures.
LEC’s dissipation array terminals have its unique method of effectively protecting systems from lightning damages:
Dissipation Array Terminal incorporate electrodes that break down into corona before streamers can form; these terminals lower accumulated static charges, consequently mitigating or delaying upward streamer generation.
