DISSIPATION ARRAY SYSTEM ( DAS)
The Dissipation Array® System ( DAS® ) prevents lightning strikes by reducing the local, storm-induced electric fields, interrupting the formation of upward streamers, thus preventing lightning strikes in the protected area. Because direct strikes are prevented, most secondary effects are also eliminated.
With a success rate of over 99% , DAS works with grounding and surge protection technologies to provide complete protection from lightning-related phenomena.
Benefits of DAS :
- Prevents direct strikes to the protected site and the device itself
- Prevents fire, equipment damage, downtime, loss of life, loss of product, and the environmental effects associated with lightning strikes.
- Exceptional return on investment, saving up to 85% of maintenance, repair, fire suppression, and replacement costs.
- Reduces risk of electrical impulses ( EMP) on electrical service lines, instrument lines, datacomm lines, etc. or data and control lines.
- Eliminates the risk of flash over on Transmission & Distribution lines.
APPLICATIONS :
To account for all the different structures that need lightning protection, we have designed several different DAS configurations. These configurations allow for installation on almost any structure, for virtually any industry. Each DAS expands the protected area, so a protection system can be a small as a single communications tower, or as large as busy petrochemical facility
Common DAS Applications Include :
- Continuous process plants, such as refineries and chemical plants.
- Buildings of all types.
- Power generating stations and substations
- Petroleum Storage Tanks
- Smoke Stacks
- Towers of any type, such as broadcasting, cellular, meteorological, etc. Offshore Platforms.
