High Performance Ground by LEC’s Patented Grounding Rod

-

 The earth grounding system is the process of connecting a facility’s electrical system to the ground. It helps carry unexpected electrical charges safely to the ground without harming any other source. For example, a lightning strike can easily send an extra voltage of electricity to different electrical components in the facility thereby damaging them. With a grounding system in place, this damage can be easily avoided. And a grounding rod has just one duty– to dissipate a static discharge voltage (like lightning) to earth, thereby stabilizing voltages from the power source.


Lightning Eliminators and Consultants, Inc. (LEC) addresses all lightning related critical issue by providing advanced testing services and superior grounding products that produce highly accurate results.

The Importance Of Maintaining A Lightning Rod Protection System

-
Lightning rods must undergo periodic inspections and maintenance, as indicated by national and international regulations. These periodic inspections allow the detection of deviation from reference standards or anomalies in the installations caused by environmental conditions such as corrosion, incorrect handling or expansion of the building where the lighting rod protection is installed.  Maintenance of an effective lightning rod protection system is essential due to the following: -    Efficiently dissipate heavy fault currents and electrical surges, both in magnitude and duration, to protect equipment being damaged so as to minimize downtime, service interruptions and replacement costs -    Provide a stable reference for electrical and RF circuits at the installation to minimize noise during normal operations -    Protection of personnel who work within the area from dangerous electrical shocks For a lightning rod protection system to work optimally, each and every part needs to be i

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 pro

  We are Pioneers in: ·          Lightning Protection System ·          Chemical Earthing Installations ·          Lightning Surge Protection Devices Let’s talk about our patented lightning surge protection devices . The term surge protection device (SPD) describes electrical devices typically installed in power distribution panels, process control systems, communications systems, and other heavy-duty industrial systems, for protection against electrical surges and spikes, including those caused by lightning.  When clean, uninterrupted power is crucial, LEC’s next-generation surge protection devices are ready to provide the highest level of performance for the safety and reliability of your electrical systems. These devices are able to accomplish two tasks for protection, i.e., surge voltage in terms of amplitude needs to be limited and discharge of the surge voltage to the ground, which is done without causing any damage to the devices.  Lightning Surge Protection Devic
