Ask us anything about lightning protection systems and we have the answers. We will not only let you know about them but we will also teach you the best practices… after all, it is all about the safety of our facilities and critical assets
Your assets are at risk of lightning striking any build…
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 …
It’s a new day in the world of process manufacturing primarily due to the advent of new methodologies, equipment and materials. With the changes in facilities themselves, the new and focused attention is warranted. Add in the projected increase in lightning storms, the strength of those storms, as w…
Today, the system globally used as a lightning protection system can be classified into two types: 1) a general system which uses the conventional air terminal and 2) a functional system which uses the charge transfer system (CTS) or charge transfer air terminal.
Lightning can strike anytime, any…
The successful 200-year-old method of using a (Franklin) rod to collect, control, and convey to earth the awesome and destructive power of lightning has produced other alternative methods.
To properly select a lightning protection systems to protect buildings and structure from lightning damage, …
Lightning is an age-old problem with protection solutions dating back to 1755 when Dr. Benjamin Franklin experimented with lightning protection and discovered that a sharp point dissipates charge. This discovery led to the grounding rod which is still in use today.
Established in 1981, LEC is ded…
What is a lightning protection system?
“There is no product or scientific method capable of modifying a natural phenomenon. Our lightning protection systems simply prevent a lightning to strike within the protected area.”
Our lightning protection systems are designed to protect a facil…

All You Need To Know About Lightning And Lightning Rod
Today, every building is equipped with many sensitive electronic system thus they need to be protected from any unforeseen damage such as a lightning strike. This is the reason more people are installing lightning rod than ever before. And as every structure is vulnerable to lightning damage, a ligh…
Lightning rod carries the harmful electrically charged cloud away from any facility or structure, safely to the ground. It has the ability to handle enormous electrical current associated with a lightning strike.
This tried and tested method has been protecting buildings and its occupants sin…
Lightning is an unpredictable phenomenon. Each year thousands of properties are destructed and damaged globally by lightning strikes. Lightning damage in the US alone cost over 5 billion-dollars annually. A properly installed lightning system can safeguard and prevent damage up to 98%. Over the year…
