LPI Lightning Protection System

Allied Power Solutions offers LPI Lightning Protection System. LPI Lightning Protection System & the need of safety lightning is one of the most devastating natural phenomena. There are many discharges during lightning storms and some of them caneven reach hundreds of kilo amperes. The electrical discharges are a great hazard to people, animal, buildings and electronic equipments. The economic consequences of lightning are also very important; it can cause fire, stop production of a factory or interrupt critical processes. A direct lightning discharge lasts a very short time but the intensity is enough to provoke electrocution resulting in heart failure andcausing burns of different degrees to the human beings. Lightning is a constant hazard where the buildings and equipments are becomingmore complex and sensitive every day. One lightning strike discharge can damage the buildings and cause failures to the electronic devicesinside the building and sometimes it may even results in fire and important economical losses.Until now, there is no device that can prevent lightning formation or lightning strikes. However, it is possible to create a path (divert) forthe lightning discharge to the ground which will minimise the damage to the environment through a well designed Lightning ProtectionSystem (LPS).
