Lightning Rod
Protection For Complete Protection Of Your Facility

Lightning strike is a giant spark of electricity that travels between the atmosphere and the ground, or
within the atmosphere itself. It’s one of the most powerful forces in nature! Thus lightning rod protection
is a necessity.

What happens during lightning strikes?

Build-up: Inside a thunderstorm cloud, areas with positive and negative charges build up. Air normally
acts as an insulator, preventing these charges from discharging.

Breakdown: When the charge difference gets strong enough, the air can no longer insulate, and a
rapid discharge of electricity occurs – that’s the lightning strike!

The Flash: The discharge heats the air around it to an incredibly high temperature, causing it to glow
brightly – that’s the visible lightning bolt we see.

Types of Strikes:
Lightning can travel between clouds
(cloud-to-cloud), within a cloud (intra-
cloud), or between a cloud and the
ground (cloud-to-ground). Cloud-to-
ground strikes are the ones that can be
dangerous to people and objects on
the ground.

First known lightning rod protection
systems were invented by Benjamin
Franklin in 1753. This type of lightning
protectors were made up of a typically
6 metres high tapered copper rod
which covered the structure in order to
be protected and this rods were
connected to two separate down
conductors and two earthing system as
well.

With advancement in technology, and LEC’s research and
development, the world now has the charge transfer
system.
It provides a high level of charge dissipation. It is constructed
of stainless steel and utilizes four stainless steel dissipation
brushes attached to a single elevation conductor for higher
dissipation on a single mount.
CTS collects the induced charge developed by
thunderstorm clouds from a designated protected area of
the earth and transfers this charge through the ionizer into
the surrounding air, this preventing direct strike.

Lightning strikes can be a serious threat to your valuable
electronics. Not only can they cause immediate damage,
but they can also lead to long-term issues that may not be
immediately apparent.
