The Finest Lightning Elimination Systems

Part of our Power-Quality-Systems division

 

When lightning protection is needed, we use a completely different approach;

Lightning Elimination.

Each installation is custom engineered to continually reduce electrical potential in the area using Charge-Transfer Technology

Tower dissipation array system

 

Lightning elimination systems

Unlike anything you have seen before…

Using an opposite mindset with respect to lightning rods, which ATTRACT lightning, we install Charge-Transfer-Technology systems that keep the atmosphere surrounding your infrastructure continually drained of electrical potential, and therefore PREVENT lightning strikes to your facility

Continual draining of the immediate atmosphere’s electrical potential prevents electrical discharge

 

Don’t fight the power…


Tame it…

Tower Systems - Building Perimeters - Airport Tarmacs - Manufacturing facilities

Protection systems custom engineered to prevent downtime due lightning strikes


Trusted by Network Operation Centers, Hospitals, Broadcast companies, Airport operations and Petroleum industries

The most technically equipped infrastructures can not afford downtime. Lightning elimination is the key to uninterrupted uptime.

”We have reduced electronic systems’ maintenance by over 85% since installing the dissipation array system… We now specify dissipation array for all building projects.”
- VP of Engineering, Turner Broadcasting


Testimonials, Lightning Elimination Systems

Testimonials, Lightning Elimination Systems

Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers
”“The end may be near for the two hundred year old method of using Franklin rods to collect, control and convey to earth the awesome and destructive power of lightning.”

”The charge transfer system of preventing lightning strikes to the protected area is a valid concept and will replace the Franklin rod method.”`
— Donald W. Zipse, P.E., Life Fellow IEEE Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers
CSX Railroad
”In our high (100) lightning days per year area, strikes are continually happening all around us.

We have had no shutdowns related to lightning damage since installation and a significant reduction in maintenance.”
— John Mangum, Director and Systems Engineer CSX
Tri-State Electric
”Since installation of the DAS system we have had no losses or down time related to lightning damage. History of the station shows many down times but now with lightning protection systems none. Thank you for this technology.”
— Jerry Coufal Network Operations Supervisor, Tri-State Electric
Chevron
”We have not sustained any telecommunication equipment damage for those sites that have LEC systems.

This lightning protection design has proven its value far beyond its initial cost”
— R.F. Heinschel, Sr. Systems Engineer & Supervisor, Chevron
Federal Express
”We’re protecting the life and safety of our personnel, we’re protecting our assets, and we’re preventing service disruption for our customers. We’ve had very good results… which have been well worth the money.”

”As far as I’m concerned, LEC lightning protection products are standard equipment when we put in a new facility where there’s a high incidence of lightning strikes and lightning damage.”
— Larry Marsh, P.E., Project Manager, Federal Express
Mobil Oil - Beaumont Refinery
“We experienced many unit outages due primarily to lightning damage on or around the unit.

Since installing LEC lightning protection products we have not experienced any unplanned outages due to lightning damage.”
— Scott McCauley Plant Engineer, Mobil Oil
MCEC
”Since installing lightning surge protection systems we have reduced substation high-voltage losses to zero, and secondary electronics losses by more than 80%. No lightning strikes, lightning damage or shutdowns.”

We saved over $1 million since installing the dissipation array systems.”
— Lee Ayers, Systems Engineer, MCEC
Ontario Hydro Nuclear Station
”We have had no lightning damage at all since the first part of the system was installed on our vacuum building in the summer of 1996. Previously we had several lightning strikes per year resulting in severe lightning damage.”
— L. Van Wormer, Engineer Ontario Hydro Nuclear Station
Turner Broadcasting
”We have reduced electronic systems maintenance by over 85% since installing the dissipation array systems, (DAS), lightning protection systems 12 years ago. We now specify DAS for all building projects. “
— Jack Barr, VP Engineering Turner Broadcasting
LMC Satcom
”Since installing a DAS lightning protection systems at our remote facility we have virtually eliminated electrical maintenance on all attached systems, including computers.

”We stay up and running even in severe storms.”
— Adam Grow III, Director of Engineering, P.E. LMC Stacom
Devils Head Lookout Station
”Our ranger station is at 10,000 ft. elevation, with a metal roof. The building was struck directly many times each season... We came to LEC to solve a Lightning Protection problem that everyone else said could not be solved.”

”We have had no direct strikes since the DAS installation.”
— Henry Goehle, USFS Site Ranger Devils Head Lookout Station
KOSI FM
”Thank you for your system. Prior to its installation we had suffered several lightning strikes, the most serious was to our FM transmitter on Lookout Mountain.” “

”Since we’ve used your lightning protection system, we have had no problems whatsoever!”
— Al Perry, Station Manager KOSI FM
Alltel Information Services
”The DAS lightning protection system is installed at our facility in Jacksonville, Florida. Prior to the installation, our facility was plagued with electrical problems related to the high frequency and intensity of lightning storms in this area.”

”Since the installation in 1992 not a single power problem has been attributed to lightning.”
— Frederic C. Parvey, Senior Vice President Fidelity/Alltel
Auburndale Power Partners
”The shutdowns we had due to lightning activity in this area of Florida were costing us considerable money each year.”

”Since installing the DAS lightning protection system we have saved $100,000 in the first year alone. The DAS system has more than paid for itself and the rest goes to the bottom line. We are now specifying DAS for our planned expansion.”
— Glen Weigle, Plant Engineer Auberndale Power Partners
