External or Direct Strike Lightning Protection System:

Controller Streamer Emission Products:
LPD provides a customer-designed package for direct lightning protection based on Control Streamer Emission (CSE). The System has been tested in compliance to IEC Test Standard: IEC 60-1:1989.
LPD offering includes direct strike protection systems from Lightning Protection International, Australia make Guardian System 5, Stormaster, Lightning Warning system and direct strike accessories. Guardian System 5 protection systems possess high voltage connection at the base in conjunction with several other features that include four electrically isolated panels and a blunt finial tip. This blunt finial tip helps to reduce corona effect.
Stormaster range of terminals is cost effective solution that can be installed with ease. These terminals also comprise of high voltage connection at the base. Lightning Protection International also provides diverse range of accessories for direct strike protection system including high voltage shielded cable as well as lightning strike recorders.

Early Streamer Emission Products:

LPD ESE (Early Streamer Emission) range of terminals provides a safe and efficient system for the protection of your facility from direct lightning strikes.The ESE ranges of terminals were fully tested in accordance with NF C 17-102 in high voltage laboratories.

LPD offering includes direct strike protection systems by Early Streamer Emission technique products from Erkoc-Imalat, Turkey with their Detakom-A5 range of products & accessories.

When the electrical field created by storm rises to 10-20kV/m value, Detakom-A5 Active Lightning Conductor generates warning stream by the impact tension generator inside in a certain frequency and amplitude by gathering the required energy from the electrical field which creates the lightning. This stream creates a path that moves upward. This path enables the lightning to flow down controllably, arrests the lightning on a vertex it forms above a large-diameter protection field above the building and conducts the lightning to the ground. Together with its accelerator rod, impact tension generator and inner structure, it is designed to safely conduct even the largest lightning streams by the help of its assemblies.

Detakom-A5 comprises of Air Terminal, Air Terminal Cap and Roof Pole Connection Adapter.

 
Charge Dissipation System Products:

LPD also provides Lightning Prevention Systems based on the principal of Charge Dissipation Technology for petrochemical and Ammunition Plants.
LPD offering includes direct strike protection systems by Charge Dissipation technique products from Alltech Corporation USA with their TerraStat range of products & accessories.

TerraStat is the latest design in lightning dissipation technology. Science and experience show that TerraStat Charge Dissipation Terminals, and the< structures on which they are installed, are much less likely to sustain a direct lightning strike than unprotected structures or structures with traditional lightning protection systems.

ALLTEC's Charge dissipation terminals may be installed under the auspices of UL 96A Master Label lightning protection systems; thus, in the exceptional event of a lightning strike terminating on a CDT, the system meets or exceeds the protection provided by a traditional air terminal.

  • High grade stainless steel construction
