How To Protect Your Facility From The Dangers Of Lightning Damage
Most lightning begins as an electrical disturbance inside a storm and travels through the clouds. Lightning can remain within the clouds or fly through the air and strike the ground. There are about 5 to 10 times more flashes in the clouds than on the ground.
Thus outdoor activities, including wo…
How Lightning Surge Protection Devices Protect Against Indirect Strikes
In some cases, customers can ask for lightning protection only, with the assumption that lightning protection alone will provide all the protection they need. If a site doesn’t have proper grounding and bonding in place, the earth's potential rise caused by a lightning strike may result in arcing …

Fuel Tank Lightning Protection By LEC Can Solve A Nation Wide Problem
Oil plants and refineries are large metal infrastructures that are far from any building and are located in large open spaces, which make them especially prone to being struck by lightning. This circumstance, together with the high flammability of the products stored in the tanks, can cause consider…
We Are Your Reliable Lightning Protection System And Solution Partner
A lightning strike is a massive electric spark that’s either traveling between the clouds or from a cloud down to earth. Since it’s an uncontrollable natural phenomenon, scientists can only give a best estimate that lightning is anywhere from 30 to 50 million volts.
With that kind of voltage …
