Lightning Protection Products – Everything You Need To Know
Lightning strikes can cause a fire, explosion, chemical release or mechanical disruptions within or around your facility. At LEC, we know that all these risks must be considered and protected against when developing a lightning protection system. With over four decades of experience, our support and expertise have assisted thousands of businesses, both large and small, to achieve effective protection against lightning. Our LPS are engineered with advanced technology and consist of the same four key components – air terminals, conductor/bonding, grounding, and transient/surge protection. Air terminals – by LEC is based on the point discharge principle or charge transfer. It provides thousands of points with specific point separation, which simultaneously produce ions over a large area, thus preventing the formation of a streamer, which is a precursor of a lightning strike. Our patented Dissipation Array system prevents strikes by continually lowering the voltage differential between th
