The Design Study phase involves a detailed site visit by LEC’s engineering team, providing a scientific analysis of the site’s lightning exposure and customized protection options. The final Site Survey stage includes a comprehensive risk assessment, detailed engineering drawings, and system specifications. LEC also utilizes Smart Ground Testing, an advanced system that provides accurate results to improve grounding and lightning safety. The design ensures electrical components are protected by surge protective devices, while structures are safeguarded by external lightning protection systems, including rods, conductors, and earthing terminals.https://www.lightningprotection.com/choose-best-lightning-protection-design
Lightning Protection Design Process By LEC

Design Process
By LEC
A lightning protection system is designed to
protect a structure, equipment, or people
from the damaging effects of lightning
strikes.

Collect the Exact Set of Data
Precise data plays an important part and is the
necessary deciding factor of the design of lightning
protection system.
At LEC, technical review is conducted in house by a
solutions specialist, at no cost and is based on
photos, drawings and building plans provided by
the client, and provides basic lightning protection
recommendations which will enable an initial
understanding of what your facility should plan for.

A site evaluation includes an on-site visit that can range from one day to a comprehensive multi-day
event for large sites with complex
electrical systems.
The General scope of work involves dimensions,
location, and environmental factors of the building
structure. This will allow a facility to better
understand the dangers and analyze the lightning
safety risk their site faces from lightning’s direct and
secondary effects. This also determines whether a
building needs external LPS or SPD or both or
nothing is required.
Design Study
A Design Study specific to DAS includes our
lightning protection engineering team visiting the
site. It provides a more detailed and scientific
evaluation of your site’s lightning safety exposure
and options for lightning protection design
system. You will receive a formal report, a
lightning strike probability analysis and a transient
analysis, as well as risk assessment as per IEC
and IEEE.
Site Survey is the final stage in designing a
solution tailored to your lightning protection
requirements and includes all aspects of risk
analysis and design to produce detailed
engineering drawings and system specifications
in addition to providing a hands-on approach in
the installation process.
Smart Ground Testing is an advanced lightning protection ground audit system
that produces highly accurate results, even on energized systems. Unlike
traditional tests, Smart Ground utilizes sophisticated computer modelling and
provides practical recommendations to improve your grounding system and
lightning safety.
In a lightning protection design system, electrical components are safeguarded by
surge protective devices to stop surge while buildings or structures are protected
with the help of external lightning protection, which comes in the form of lightning
rods, metal conductors and earthing terminals.
