There is an infinite amount of information housed, shared, and stored throughout facilities globally. A lightning strike on a data center can have dramatic effects. Aside from the obvious risks of fire or injuries, it can wreck your equipment and lead to the destruction of your data. Data center buildings are often spread out in large areas. LEC’s DAS is an effective way of protecting a vast zone with only a few devices: it's both cost-effective and secure. Visit us to know more: https://www.lightningprotection.com/
Franklin-type lightning rods protect wind turbines against direct lightning strikes. But complete lightning protection in accordance with IEC 61024-1 only comes through the use of a custom built lightning current arrester such as LEC’s manufactured and patented IPG (Ion Plasma Generator). In competition with a turbine blade, the IPG provides a successful counter leader to distances over 20 times that of the best competition.

Society increasingly depends on petroleum products, so storage management of crude oil and its products has become particularly important. The approach to solving the lightning induced fire issue is centred on eliminating voltage differential by installing a fuel tank lightning protection system such as LEC”s Retractable Grounding Assembly.

For more than 40 years, Lightning Eliminators & Consultants, Inc. (LEC), Boulder Colo., has been involved in developing lightning protection systems. Over the last twenty five years the focus of our company has been on researching the science of strike collection. The patented Ion Plasma Generator is a highly effective air terminal engineered for applications where lightning prevention is not practical, but that still require reliable lightning protection from direct strikes.

The function of an external lightning protection design system is to intercept direct lightning strikes to the tower of a wind turbine and to discharge the lightning current from the point of strike to the ground without causing thermal or mechanical damage or dangerous sparking which may lead to fire or explosion and endanger people. To minimise risk of downtime caused by lightning strike, LEC manufactures and certifies lightning protection design systems in accordance to relevant international standards.
