LPI Guardian System 5 provides a purpose-designed package for direct lightning protection. The Guardian System 5 has been tested in compliance to IEC Test Standard: IEC 60-1:1989.
The LPI Stormaster ESE range of terminals provides a safe and efficient system for the protection of your facility from direct lightning strikes. The Stormaster ESE range of terminals have been fully tested in accordance with NF C 17-102 in a high voltage laboratory.
In Addition LPI also offers conventional lightning protection system which complies to International Standards such as IEC 62305, BS EN 62305 and AS/NZ 1768.
Advanced Rolling Sphere ProtectionUtilizing the Rolling Sphere (Collection Volume) Method, the system delivers superior lightning strike risk assessment and strategic coverage for every structure. The vertical or mesh air terminal design adapts to project-specific requirements, ensuring peak safety for buildings from industrial complexes to residential homes while adhering to international safety standards.
Modular & Customizable InstallationOur solution supports single or multiple air terminals, with customizable pole height (up to 30 meters) and robust earthing via multiple rods for optimal discharge. With modular components and a choice between tapered or straight poles, contractors can tailor the system to unique site needs, guaranteeing seamless integration and future expandability.
Durable Materials for Harsh EnvironmentsConstructed with premium copper or aluminum conductors and stainless steel fittings, the system resists corrosion and withstands extreme temperatures from -40C to +85C. Designed for both indoor and outdoor use, it features a weatherproof, UV-resistant finish ideal for the Indian climate and various global challenges.
FAQs of LPI Lightning Protection System Collection Volume Method:
Q: How does the Collection Volume (Rolling Sphere) Method protect my building from lightning?
A: The Rolling Sphere Method assesses risk by simulating potential lightning trajectories, guiding optimal placement for air terminals and conductors. This approach ensures comprehensive coverage, efficiently intercepting strikes and safely channeling lightning current to the ground through dedicated conductors and earth rods.
Q: What are the advantages of using vertical or mesh array air terminals in this system?
A: Vertical or mesh array air terminals allow flexible system design based on the architectural layout and level of required protection. The arrangementwhether single or multipleenhances system reliability, maximizing coverage and efficiency for varied applications, from residential rooftops to expansive industrial sites.
Q: When should periodic inspection and maintenance be performed on the lightning protection system?
A: Although the system requires minimal maintenance, inspections should be scheduled periodicallyat least annually, or after severe weather events. Inspection points and test links are integrated for ease of access, helping verify mechanical integrity, connections, and earth resistance for optimal system performance.
Q: Where can this lightning protection system be installed?
A: This system is universally applicable across industrial, commercial, institutional, and residential buildings. It supports roof-mounted, ground-mounted, and structure-mounted installations, with customizable lengths and heights to align with any projects design requirements and regulatory standards.
Q: What is the process for installing and expanding the protection system?
A: Installation involves strategic placement of air terminals and conductors as per site-specific Collection Volume assessments, connecting earth rods, and securing all components with supplied accessories. Thanks to its modular design, the system can be expanded or upgraded with minimal effort whenever additional protection is necessary.
Q: How does the system ensure safety and reliability in harsh environmental conditions?
A: The system is built from UV-resistant, high-quality conductive materials with corrosion-resistant plating and stainless steel hardware. This ensures reliable function and longevity even under extreme weather or corrosive industrial atmospheres, contributing to consistent safety compliance and system integrity.
Q: What are the main benefits of choosing this lightning protection system for my project?
A: You benefit from a customizable, standards-compliant, and low-maintenance lightning protection solution. Its expandability, ease of installation, and superior durability safeguard your investment, personnel, and assets from lightning-related hazards across various sectors and environmental conditions.
