6 Reasons To Opt For A Comprehensive Lightning Protection Design System
Since 1971, LEC has developed specialized expertise in lightning protection design. While traditional lightning strike protection methods may be adequate for some installations, custom lightning protection design systems meet more exacting requirements when more complete protection is needed. Engineering an appropriate solution is more complex than simply putting up a lightning rod. Before implementing a protection plan, each site is evaluated for risk factors, geography, soil type, and many other parameters.
A comprehensive lightning protection design is a necessity for all facilities, and here are six reasons:
Climate change has increased the number of lightning strikes each year, putting every part of the country at risk. 
The devices that operate your facility and keep you, your investment, and your personnel safe — including security systems, heating and cooling equipment, and electronic appliances — can be knocked out by lightning surges, even if the lightning does not directly strike your facility.
Grounding and surge protection products without lightning protection do not protect against lightning.
At LEC, lightning protection systems are custom designed and installed by our professional and experienced engineers, keeping the building's aesthetics in mind.
Lightning protection is affordable, may reduce insurance premiums, and can enhance the value of your facility by providing peace of mind.
A properly installed lightning protection system safeguards a business structurally and also protects property, inventory, electronic equipment, and personnel from the destructive forces of lightning. Like fire alarms, sprinklers, and security systems, a lightning protection system provides the peace of mind that comes from knowing that a potentially catastrophic problem has been dealt with proactively.
Did you know that a lightning protection system that has been designed and installed according to accepted industry standards can last for two to three generations with little to no maintenance? Furthermore, when a structure is remodeled to meet new requirements, most of the components of a lightning protection design system will remain usable when reconfigured. Or if a structure is torn down, the aluminum and copper components can be easily recycled without deterioration.
We are dedicated to providing lightning protection and prevention products, solutions, and services that meet international standards.

Your Advantage Of Using DAS To Minimise Lightning Damage
Direct lightning strikes and their secondary effects are some of the most harmful natural occurrences because they can occur anywhere and hit any object. Lightning protection systems can mitigate the issue. It’s the only real “insurance” owners have that their investment will be protected. For years the focus of Lightning Eliminators & Consultants, Inc. has been on researching the science of strike collection. DAS prevents the formation of streamers on ground-based objects, protecting industrial facilities from the devastating effects of lightning as comprehensibly as possible.

Lightning Surge Protection Devices For Every Facility
Lightning surge protection devices are devices whose main objective is to protect electrical installations. They conduct to ground voltages that are above a safe threshold before reaching electrical appliances. Ideal lightning surge protection devices (SPD) should conduct the current at voltages higher than the rated voltage of the device, keeping the voltage stable for the duration of the surge but stopping the conduction as soon as the voltage returns to the rated value.

3 Steps Tailored Solutions To Lightning Protection Design
Power generation facilities need lightning protection design. Each year, a multitude of electric power facilities are knocked off-line due to lightning. However, what is less known is that on a bright and sunshiny day, when there is no lightning in sight, and the power goes out and/or operations shut down, it can also be due to lightning - more accurately, the repercussions of previous lightning strikes, which occurred months earlier!

Your Partner In Choosing The Best Lightning Rod Protection – Lightning Eliminators
Lightning rod protection is used to protect buildings by rerouting lightning strikes away from the structure and channelling the electricity down to the ground. Some people are under the misconception that the Franklin lightning rod protection is the only way to protect against lightning strikes, and others are confused by other products developed over the past 50 years, believing them to be similar to the lightning rod, such as Early Streamer Emission systems (ESE) and Charge Transfer System (CTS). Lightning Eliminators & Consultant Inc. is your partner in choosing the best lightning rod protection. Get in touch with us: https://www.lightningprotection.com/

The 3 Major Components Of Lightning Rod Protection
Lightning rods or air terminals are only part of a full lightning rod protection system. In fact, the top terminals may play a minor important role in a complete system. The chance that your facility will be hit varies on a number of factors, such as location, structure height, temperature, and humidity. If all the factors are right, even areas with infrequent thunderstorms can experience rare but high-intensity lightning strikes. Remember, Lightning Eliminators & Consultant Inc. has got you covered when it comes to lightning rod protection. So connect with us now: https://www.lightningprotection.com/

Does DAS Protect A Facility From Lightning Damage?
Lightning strikes can damage manufacturing units by causing fires, explosions, structural damage, electrical surges, and equipment failure. These can lead to production downtime and financial losses. Lightning can also destroy inventory and essential equipment, erase vital computer files, and damage customer relationships due to production delays or temporary closures.
The potential lightning damage posed by lightning strikes necessitates installing effective lightning protection systems.
Charge transfer systems are systems that use point discharge to protect an area or object from a lightning strike. Static electricity in the atmosphere is dissipated back into a ground system, making it less attractive for lightning to strike. 
Our ability to deal intelligently with lightning damage is a little more advanced than Benjamin Franklin’s approach.
With a rich history and over 50 years of expertise, LEC has been at the forefront of lightning protection systems. From risk assessment to dissipation array systems to surge protection systems, we offer comprehensive solutions to safeguard structures and assets from lightning damage. As experts in the field, we understand the importance of safeguarding structures and assets from the increasing frequency and intensity of lightning events. The evolving weather landscape, record-breaking events, and heightened lightning activity highlight the urgent demand for comprehensive lightning protection systems. Our solutions are effective and reliable, ensuring your peace of mind.

Case Study:
Georgia Pacific, one of the world’s leading manufacturers of tissue, pulp, paper, packaging, building products, and related chemicals, has utilized LEC lightning protection products at four plants since 2001. Georgia Pacific’s primary problem was unplanned shutdowns of the Paper Machines attributable to direct strikes to the three 380-ft tall stacks for their in-house power generation plants. There has not been lightning damage to the paper machines since the Dissipation Array System (DAS) solution was installed. 
When installed, maintained, and supervised by LEC, DAS prevents direct strikes with a 99% success rate, minimizing the risks to facilities and operations. The benefits can be substantial, resulting in a healthier bottom line by reducing downtime, maintenance and repairs, while increasing reliability and personnel safety. With our solutions, you can significantly reduce the financial burden of potential lightning damage.
By leveraging our expertise and incorporating the latest advancements in lightning protection technology, you can ensure robust protection for critical infrastructure and assets against lightning damage. With LEC, you get service and assurance from our decades-long experience and commitment to excellence.
