Lightning Strike Prevention and Protection Systems
All of LEC’s Lightning Strike Prevention and Protection Systems use charge transfer technology which continually reduces the charge so that lightning is not as likely to strike. All lightning prevention devices are part of LEC’s Integrated Lightning Solutions that also include surge suppression and grounding systems, contact us to learn more.
Dissipation Array® System - DAS®
Provides over 99% effective strike prevention. The Dissipation Array System is our primary charge transfer technology product. It is a fully custom engineered system designed specifically to fit the environment of each proposed protected area. The DAS is combined with other lightning protection devices, surge protection, and grounding solutions to provide complete protection. Learn more about the DAS.
Spline Ball Ionizer® - SBI®
Provides 85% - 90% effective strike prevention, all other strikes are collected. The Spline Ball Ionizer operates on the same charge transfer technology as the DAS, however it is generally only used to enhance the protection area the DAS provides or to protect areas the where using the DAS is uneconomical. All stainless and copper materials are used and they are UL listed. Learn more about the SBI.
Spline Ball Terminal® - SBT®
Provides up to 85% effective strike prevention, all other strikes are collected. The Spline Ball Terminal is a direct replacement for standard lightning rods. SBTs can be retrofitted into existing lightning rod bases and used in new fully qualified NFPA-780 and UL Master Label systems. SBTs out perform traditional lightning rods by collecting lightning strikes more reliably. SBTs are made of all stainless steel and copper materials and are UL listed. Learn more about the SBT.
Ion Plasma Generator®- IPG®
A Strike Collector that provides over 99% effective strike collection. It is often used to protect areas that cannot have strike prevention measures applied. It operates using the same point charge transfer technology; however it is designed to use the charge to collect strikes rather than prevent. Learn more about the IPG.
