Conventional Lightning Rod vs Advance Das Technology

-

Many commercial and residential building are at a risk of lightning damage. Personal injury, loss to business and equipment is a huge expense for any company or individual to bear. Trust a lightning protection system with Dissipated Array System (DAS) technology to greatly reduce this threat on your business, residence, equipment, data and life.


“It prevents direct lightning strikes within the area of protection”


The conventional lightning rod – the ones that collect and transmit the lightning strike current to the ground were never designed to protect modern technologies and high-tech facilities. These lightning rods, irrespective of what marketers tell you, can actually bring thousands of volts close to sensitive electronics, causing fire and permanent damage.



What is lightning strike?


-  An electronically charged storm contains clouds. It needs to discharge itself by equalizing the voltage with that of the earth. Initially, the difference in polarity between the bottom cloud and the ground is huge. As the clouds build up, this difference begins to diminish and clouds form a downward leader while an upward streamer is formed by the earth; creating a strong electrical field. Thus when the clouds connect/ equalize with the earth, lightning strikes. Any object in the path of this connect is also electrically charged and destroyed due to the high voltage.


DAS technology is based on the principle of charge transfer and interrupts the formation of streamers. By doing this it reduces the electric field, preventing direct lightning strikes. 



Key components of this system are:


-It is engineered to integrate with any building, tank, tower or other structures

-It uses chemically-charged electrodes for low impedance resistance

-Surge protector (Transient Voltage Surge Suppression) further ensures no current travels through data lines and other conductive paths

-Modular Strike prevention devices can also be added for increased protection as required

 

Features

-  Strike prevention, not collection. The company extends a ‘no strike’ warranty subject to inspection and maintenance

-  Customized design. Each lightning protection product working with DAS technology can be easily customized as per the needs of the client

-  All time protection. This technology has been protecting structures, equipments, data and lives since 1971, with 99% success rate


Dissipation Array System’s unique and effective system terminates lightning strikes; providing customers with protection against lightning damage that is not possible with traditional lightning rod. And Lightning Eliminators & consultants, Inc. are the best solution provider in the world.

Lightning Surge Protection Devices For Data Centers

-

Very little commercial or administrative activity can occur if the computers are out of action. So, every minute of data center downtime can severely affect a firm’s profitability and reputation. Lightning surge protection devices can help ensure that frequent but unpredictable events such as lightning strikes and power surges do not cause data loss or severe and lasting damage to sensitive data center equipment. Data centers must have high systems availability with a maximum of four minutes of downtime per year, which can only be achieved with the redundancy of power supply from the energy distributor. They usually have two medium-voltage sources to reduce the risk of power failure, one of which serves as a backup. A third source, in the form of generators, is often found on site along with an uninterruptable power supply to ensure power supply maintenance even in the event of a fault. UPS also serves to safeguard the quality of electrical energy. However, due to their low residu...

Lightning Protection Products You Never Knew You Needed

Dissipation Systems are designed to prevent lightning strikes. These refer to devices using point discharge phenomena to retard and reduce the potential of lightning strikes on their protected devices. Choosing the appropriate lightning protection products for a specific application requires several performance issues to be considered, such as the radius of the dissipater electrode cross-section, the construction material of the dissipater, the number and density of electrodes, and the configuration of the dissipater on the structure it is designed to protect.  The Dissipation Array System (or DAS) is a lightning prevention system. Well, it doesn’t prevent lightning from happening altogether, but it does prevent lightning from striking the protected structure. There is a lot of detail on how it does this, but the simple version is that it lowers the electrostatic field in the protected zone. This prevents upward-rising lightning leaders (or streamers) from being created on the...

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 direc...
