Application-Specific Lightning Protection Systems
for Critical Operations and Infrastructure

Innovative Lightning Protection Systems that safeguard your operations, equipment, and people from lightning-related damage and service interruptions.

SINCE 1971

Running Through the Storm

Lightning Eliminators offers innovative lightning protection systems designed to safeguard operations, equipment, and people from lightning-related damage and service interruptions. Our consultative approach involves analyzing the lightning risk profile of specific operations and collaborating with clients to develop comprehensive Lightning Defense solutions.

Lightning Protection Systems

Our comprehensive product lineup enables us to solve just about any lightning risk problem. LEC’s product portfolio has applications across multiple industries:

The Lightning Eliminators Advantage

“Experience” and “prevention” best define the Lightning Eliminators difference. We have been innovating, manufacturing, installing and servicing lightning protection systems since 1971. Much of the technology in use today originated in our research and development lab.

Lightning Avoidance

For many applications, the best way to minimize risk is to avoid the strike entirely, not collect it. Our Dissipation Array System (DAS) highlights this shift from reactive to proactive protection and is the cornerstone of our innovations.

Lightning Protection

LEC has provided lightning collection, grounding and surge protection solutions throughout multiple industries providing greater safety, savings and efficiency using a proprietary approach to risk reduction. Lightning protections systems include the Retractable Grounding Assembly for storage tanks, spline ball systems

TESTIMONIALS

  • L. Van Wormer, Engineer
    We have had no lightning damage at all since the first part of the system was installed on our vacuum building in the summer of 1996. Previously we had several lightning strikes per year resulting in severe lightning damage.
    L. Van Wormer, Engineer
    Ontario Hydro Nuclear Station
  • Annuar Ramli, R&D Division
    Since the installation of the (DAS) lightning protection systems we have had no losses or down time related to lightning strikes or lightning damage. History of the station shows many down times before the lightning protection systems installed, with none now. Thank you for this technology.
  • Lee Ayers, Systems Engineer
    Since installing LEC's lightning surge protection systems we have reduced substation high-voltage losses to zero, and secondary electronics losses by more than 80%. No lightning strikes, lightning damage or shutdowns. We saved over $1 million since installing the DAS.
  • Scott McCauley Plant Engineer
    Prior to October 1979 we experienced many unit outages due primarily to lightning damage on or around the unit. Since installing LEC lightning protection products we have not experienced any unplanned outages due to lightning damage.
  • Larry Marsh, P.E., Project Manager,
    We’re protecting the life and safety of our personnel, we’re protecting our assets, and we’re preventing service disruption for our customers. We’ve had very good results… which have been well worth the money. As far as I'm concerned, LEC lightning protection products are standard equipment when we put in a new facility where there's a high incidence of lightning strikes and lightning damage.
  • R.F. Heinschel, Sr. Systems Engineer & Supervisor
    We have not sustained any telecommunication equipment damage for those sites that have LEC systems. This lightning protection design has proven its value far beyond its initial cost
  • Jerry Coufal, Network Operations Supervisor
    Since installation of the DAS system we have had no losses or down time related to lightning damage. History of the station shows many down times but now with lightning protection systems none. Thank you for this technology.
  • John Mangum, Director and Systems Engineer
    In our high (100) lightning days per year area, strikes are continually happening all around us. We have had no shutdowns related to lightning damage since installation and a significant reduction in maintenance.
