A lightning protection system is designed to protect a structure, equipment, or people from the damaging effects of lightning strikes.

LEC’s process before considering lightning protection design system:

Collect the Exact Set of Data

• Precise data plays an important part and is the necessary deciding factor in the design of lightning protection systems.

• At LEC, a solutions specialist conducts a technical review in-house at no cost. The review is based on photos, drawings, and building plans provided by the client and provides basic lightning protection recommendations that will enable an initial understanding of what your facility should plan for.

• A site evaluation includes an on-site visit that can last one day or be a comprehensive multi-day event for large sites with complex electrical systems.

• The general scope of work involves the dimensions, location, and environmental factors of the building/structure. This will allow a facility to better understand the dangers and analyze the lightning safety risk their site faces from lightning’s direct and secondary effects. It also determines whether a building needs external LPS SPD or both or whether nothing is required.

Design Study

• A Design Study specific to DAS includes our lightning protection engineering team visiting the site. It provides a more detailed and scientific evaluation of your site’s lightning safety exposure and options for a lightning protection design system. You will receive a formal report, a lightning strike probability analysis, a transient analysis, and a risk assessment per IEC and IEEE.

• Site Survey is the final stage in designing a solution tailored to your lightning protection requirements. It includes all risk analysis and design aspects to produce detailed engineering drawings and system specifications and provide a hands-on approach to the installation process.

• Smart Ground Testing is an advanced lightning protection ground audit system that produces highly accurate results, even on energized systems. Unlike traditional tests, Smart Ground utilizes sophisticated computer modeling and provides practical recommendations to improve your grounding system and lightning safety.

In a lightning protection design system, electrical components are safeguarded by surge protective devices to stop surges, while buildings or structures are protected with external lightning protection, which comes in the form of lightning rods, metal conductors, and earthing terminals.

An Integrated Approach For Complete Lightning Rod Protection?

LEC offers an advanced lightning protection solution with its patented Charge Transfer System (Dissipation Array System or DAS). Unlike traditional lightning rods, which focus on structural protection, LEC's system uses point discharge to lower the static field in a protection zone, reducing the risk of lightning strikes within that area. This modern approach, backed by over 50 years of experience, integrates expert consulting, engineering, and customized services to enhance lightning safety and efficiency for various industries.

How Can LEC Help In Lightning Protection?

In recent years, changes in the global environment, such as global warming, extreme weather conditions, heat islands, and other phenomena have led to increased heavy rain and lightning. On the other hand, advanced precision electronic equipment has become the need of the hour for every facility. Thus, preventing equipment damage and breakdowns caused by direct lightning strikes through lightning protection systems has become the need of the hour. A lightning strike can cause a fire, explosion, chemical release, or mechanical disruptions within or around your facility. How can LEC help? We have a very efficient technical workforce. Our personnel are responsible for installing all types of lightning protection and surge protection systems. We have all the resources, materials, and the latest plant, machinery, and vehicle to work on any size project – large scale to a remote mountaintop. Our work progress and quality of workmanship are monitored regularly through various control and testing systems. We will complete a full site survey and then use the results to design a lightning protection system that will also include recommendations for surge protection.


What are the protective devices used against lightning surges?

Lightning surge protection devices are an indispensable part of lightning protection for electronic equipment. Its function is to limit the instantaneous overvoltage of the power line and signal transmission line to the voltage range that the equipment or system can withstand or to discharge powerful excess lightning current into the ground. 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. LEC provides an entire product line of lightning surge protection devices, like: • Facility guard for industrial service entrance and subpanel applications • The DC surge protector for protection of all DC applications to ensure maximum lightning safety • Data line protectors for low-voltage telecom and control lines • Coaxial line protectors for protection of all types of coaxial line applications including antennas, microwaves, broadband, cellular systems, and GPS equipment
