Our lightning protection products also consist of a low-impendence grounding system, Transient Voltage Surge Suppression (TVSS), and a Strike Prevention Device (SBI). It can be configured for almost every structure; for example, the Hemisphere Array is suitable for industrial or commercial structures, whereas the Rim Array is designed for floating roof tanks in the petrochemical and flammable industries.

2. Dissipation Systems are designed to prevent lightning strikes.
These refer to devices using point discharge phenomena to
retard and reduce the potential of lightning strikes on their
protected devices.
Choosing the appropriate lightning protection products for a
specific application requires several performance issues to be
considered, such as the radius of the dissipater electrode cross-
section, the construction material of the dissipater, the number
and density of electrodes, and the configuration of the dissipater
on the structure it is designed to protect.
3. The Dissipation Array System (or DAS) is a lightning prevention system. Well, it doesn’t prevent lightning
from happening altogether, but it does prevent lightning from striking the protected structure. There is a lot
of detail on how it does this, but the simple version is that it lowers the electrostatic field in the protected
zone. This prevents upward-rising lightning leaders (or streamers) from being created on the protected
structure. Without these upward-rising leaders, essential for lightning collection, lightning would not be
able to hit that structure. The DAS is a no-strike prevention system. This means that the system will not
allow strikes to the protected area due to its high level of performance.

4. The SBIs are a more cost-effective, modular design based on the
same principle of operation. They prevent 70-80% of strikes at a
lower cost.
Spline Ball Terminal – It has the capability of decreasing the risk of a
direct lightning strike, and if prevention is not possible, it safely
collects the strikes and eliminates them to the ground. The SBT is an
off-the-shelf lightning protection product that perfectly replaces
standard air terminals.
