Lightning Rod Protection For Complete Protection Of Your Facility

1. Lightning Rod Protection For Complete Protection Of Your Facility

2. Lightning strike is a giant spark of electricity that travels between the atmosphere and the ground, or within the atmosphere itself. It’s one of the most powerful forces in nature! Thus lightning rod protection is a necessity. What happens during lightning strikes? Build-up: Inside a thunderstorm cloud, areas with positive and negative charges build up. Air normally acts as an insulator, preventing these charges from discharging. Breakdown: When the charge difference gets strong enough, the air can no longer insulate, and a rapid discharge of electricity occurs – that’s the lightning strike! The Flash: The discharge heats the air around it to an incredibly high temperature, causing it to glow brightly – that’s the visible lightning bolt we see.

3. Types of Strikes: Lightning can travel between clouds (cloud-to-cloud), within a cloud (intra-cloud), or between a cloud and the ground (cloud-to-ground). Cloud-to-ground strikes are the ones that can be dangerous to people and objects on the ground. First known lightning rod protection systems were invented by Benjamin Franklin in 1753. This type of lightning protectors were made up of a typically 6 metres high tapered copper rod which covered the structure in order to be protected and this rods were connected to two separate down conductors and two earthing system as well.

4. With advancement in technology, and LEC’s research and development, the world now has the charge transfer system. It provides a high level of charge dissipation. It is constructed of stainless steel and utilizes four stainless steel dissipation brushes attached to a single elevation conductor for higher dissipation on a single mount. CTS collects the induced charge developed by thunderstorm clouds from a designated protected area of the earth and transfers this charge through the ionizer into the surrounding air, this preventing direct strike. Lightning strikes can be a serious threat to your valuable electronics. Not only can they cause immediate damage, but they can also lead to long-term issues that may not be immediately apparent.
