Build a Power Lightning Protection System

-

A direct lightning strike can cause severe damage to a building’s structure, and its internal electronic systems, putting lives at risk. From oil & gas rigs, tall towers, to high-rise offices, hospitals, to shopping centres to stadiums, a compliant lightning protection system, installed by a competent specialist is essential to minimising the damage that can occur.

Lightning protection systems are used to prevent or lessen lightning strike damage to all facilities. They protect the internal and external components of a building, helping to prevent fires,  electrocution and destruction. Lightning protection can be provided from basic grounding rods to advanced dissipation arrays that prevent lightning from striking in a protected zone. 

Working with LEC you will get a lightning protection system with the capability to eliminate the lightning strikes within zones of protection!

Our clients have made LEC the leader in innovation and installation of lightning protection systems. They recognise our commitment to high standards of service and safety meant that they could get on with their job secure in the knowledge that we had done ours.

The power of our lightning protection speciality:

  • With over 50 years of experience you can be sure that your job will be fully and accurately specified right from the start. 
  • Our proven track record of worldwide lightning protection insures your ultimate safety.
  • You can be rest assured that your lightning protection system remains fully effective by using our maintenance teams for annual testing and maintenance. 
  • You will be glad to hear that we offer a ‘no-strike warranty’ on all our products installed by us
  • Our reputation has been built upon open and honest communication, project transparency, superior teamwork and creative solutions.
  • We have over 40 patented lightning protection products.

The economic benefits of taking these protective measures speak for themselves. The cost of damage to the structure, its contents including any critical electrical installations, and above all, the safety of people within or nearby, should all be taken into account.

If you are unsure about the type of lightning protection required by your facility, contact us by telephone or e-mail for a cost-free risk assessment.

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
