Lightning Eliminators & Consultants Inc., are your lightning protection design system and solution partner. If you are concerned about lightning striking your high-value or critical assets, then you’re in the right place. A fundamental requirement of our design process is understanding the risks posed for your specific environment and assets. Our approach is to take risk off the table for you and your high-value critical assets. Also, as part of the process, reduce the solution complexity into an easy-to-understand plan/design or strategy. Lightning protection design is prevention Not all applications can take a preventive solution. In an out-dated lightning protection system, electrical charge is diverted to a less damaging path to ground and is equalised through grounding rods. This mature methodology can cause considerable damage to electrical appliance, downtime and loss of product to companies. Meet the DAS (Dissipation Array System). The charge transfer lightning protection design system whose function is to employ basic fundamentals of an LPS along with modified air terminals designed to reduce the incidence of direct strikes to structures being protected.
Dissipation Array System work by dissipating static charge. The radius of the electrode enables dissipation of static ground charge to the atmosphere and it is related to electric field intensity (and flux density) surrounding the electrode. This patented lightning protection design system provides a low resistance route for static ground charge to reach the atmosphere, thus preventing a build-up of the ground charge to the value necessary to trigger a strike. The DAS design offers maximum mounting flexibility, is adaptable to any existing structure, takes advantage of existing grounding and bonding, and doesn’t preclude any utility application of structure space. In our 5 decades of experience and that of our customers, DAS has proven to be a cost-effective means of reducing expenditures for damage due to lightning. A proper lightning protection design, construction and installed system can help save money. But, however effective DAS may be, it should be remembered that installation of this design system is not a stand-alone solution. It is one in a long line of products for full spectrum lightning, transient and static protection. This is the most exciting concept to come out of the lightning protection sector for centuries, ask for a lightning protection design concept for your facility today.

A direct lightning strike can be a tremendous loss, costing millions of dollars. Mostly these strikes occur on or near residence, causing havoc on the home’s electrical system, appliances, and electronics. Fortunately, there are ways to help safeguard your property, family and yourself from lightning damage. Facts
The safest place to be during a lightning strike is your office or home. Still, some precautions needs to be taken to prevent any lightning damage. Try to stay away from anything that conducts electricity such as:
Invest Investing in the right lightning protection system is the best way to protect everyone from lightning damage. These systems create a pathway for lightning bolts to ground itself. Without a designated path; electrical wirings, metal plumbing pipes and even the metal gas system lines become potential pathways, thus causing damage to every device connected. A tailored system specifically for the home can safely guide the strike to the ground without harming anyone or anything. Surge Lightning strikes near power lines can cause huge power surges, thus a surge protection device should be installed in conjunction with a lightning protection system. These SPDs (point of use Surge Protection Device) do not suppress or arrest a surge; they divert it to the ground. This provides an extra layer of protection to your electrical and electronic appliances. Take action Lightning damage can cause irreparable damage. Take immediate action of getting your exterior and home systems checked and then installing the correct lightning protection device. Lightning Eliminators & Consultants Inc., are pioneers in this field since decades. Their name is synonymous with international standard protection and no strike warranty.
Did you know lightning causes more than $5 billion property damages each year? Lightning is a dangerous natural process. It is one of the leading cause of weather related deaths worldwide. A thunderstorm produced by lightning and thunder together can cause considerable damage. You can protect your business and home from lightning strikes by installing an effective and adequate lightning protection system. In an outdated lightning protection system, electrical charge is diverted to a less damaging path to ground and is stored through electrical rods. This old method can cause considerable damage to electrical appliance, downtime and loss of product to companies. The team of Lightning Eliminators came up with the latest technology of Charge Transfer System (CTS). It is a system planned to avoid a lightning strike from occurring within a protected zone or area. You must be wondering how this state of the art patented technology by Lightning Eliminators & Consultants, Inc. (LEC) works? Let us find out a basic layout of a lightning protection system. The Charge Transfer System (CTS) ismostly consists of these assemblies:
