LBA lightning systems protect satellite dishes, antennas, towers, & industrial structural assets.
An array of five PLP-32 masts will protect a camp of portable buildings within a 25,000 square foot (2323 m2) area. Our offerings include prefabricated copper ground wire terminations, Copperweld™ ground rods, chemical ground rods, earthing mesh, and exothermic welding materials, as well as UL and NFPA compliant lightning system cable and accessories.A wide variety of copper and ground system products are available. For that use, a spacing of 10 to 20 feet is typical. A linear dissipater element consists of a central cable with dissipation electrodes inserted continuously within the wind of the cable.

Other models in the series share the same attributes and differ only in height and weight.PLP-32 Lightning Masts provide a cone of protection within which lightning charges are diverted to the mast and grounded instead of to the protected object. Static dissipation systems work by dissipating static charge. Three bracing beams and hardware are provided for attachment between the end of each horizontal member and the base tube section. Flashers and Tower Lighting Controls FLASHERS & TOWER LIGHTING CONTROLS Flashers for incandescent or LED lighting used with both alternating and non-alternating applications in the signaling, communications, and advertising industries. The configuration of LDA elements and supporting structure is dependent upon the specifics of the tower top or other structure being protected. For example, a single PLP-32 mast will protect 9 foot (2.14 m) high portable buildings wholly within a 40 foot (12.19 m) radius. LRE lightning protection hardware is particularly effective when coupled with the LBA series of field dissipater air terminals and candelabra dissipaters. As a practical matter, the dissipater configuration should be tailored to the structure, not vice versa.Our lightning dissipaters are available in configurations which can protect the entire tower structure, or just individual cellular antennas. In these cases, the length of the PDP-(*) will be reduced by the depth of embedment. Alternate Installations:The PLP-(*) may also be temporarily installed in an augured and backfilled hole, or embedded in concrete for a more permanent installation.
Virtually all populated regions have varying incidences of lightning strikes. We offer a complete, integrated capability to provide lightning protection solutions for towers, antennas, and other structures.
