  The answer is a simple YES. Reason: ·          The world has change drastically with the rapid progression of technology but lightning protection for such advancement has not change since Benjamin Franklin’s invention in 1750. ·          Increased equipment vulnerability due to migration from era of Electrical/Analog to Digital/Electronics ·          Increased dependency on automation and artificial intelligence demands "zero" downtime ·          Requirement of system reliability for continuous critical operations Solution: By installing a Dissipation Array System, patented by LEC, you can limit the build-up of static charge in the area of protection and discourage secondary and EMP effects, damage to equipment, and disruptions in operations caused by direct or nearby lightning strikes , thereby enhancing site reliability. The DAS comprises of 3 major components: the Ionizer, Down Conductor, and Ground Electrode. Under the influence of the thunderstorm, the
