Measures to prevent lightning strikes on industries have never been more sophisticated.
The days of relying on conventional lightning rod protection from the fire are all but over. Complex operations are now been deployed with advanced options to minimize damage and limit downtime from a lightning strike.
Smart solution
The most recently developed technology actually deters the strike from hitting facilities at all and potentially avoids the risk of damage completely. It combines earthing, DAS protection and surge suppression to create an isolation zone that inhibits directs strikes to the protected site and limits the impact of any nearby strikes.
This innovation and one of the kind lightning rod protection solutions have been installed in some of the most lightning prone environments on the planet and credited with the success rate of more than 99% in lightning strike prevention. The system is protecting petrochemical sites, data and telecommunication centers, transit and logistics facilities and power generation sectors, among others.
Here, we are talking about the Dissipation Array System that works on the Charge transfer technology.
This system prevent strikes by continually lowering the voltage differential between the ground and the charged cloud to well below the lightning potential. It also reduces the risk of electrical impulses on electrical service lines and control lines. Our dissipation array system is available in a different configuration to provide optimal protection from lightning for any industry.
This technology coupled with lightning rods provides the maximum protection against lightning damage.
The problem with the conventional lightning rod protection is that it is designed to collect and channel the force of a strike to ground. This 200-year-old concept was never intended for the protection of modern hi-tech automated facilities. In fact, during a research, this conventional system was not found to be scientifically or technically when field tested under natural lightning conditions. DAS, on the other hand, prevents the accumulation of charge thereby preventing a lightning strike. We like to say, “don’t attract lightning, prevent it!”
DAS primary features are:
- Strike prevention, not collection
- Maintenance free system
- Customized design
- All-time protection
