Since installing LEC’s systems we have reduced substation high-voltage losses to zero, and secondary electronics losses by more than 80%. No strikes no shutdowns. We saved over $1 million since installing the DAS.

Prior to October 1979 we experienced many unit outages due primarily to strikes on or around the unit. Since then we have not experienced any unplanned outages due to
lightning.

As far as I’m concerned, LEC technology is standard equipment when we put in a new facility where there’s a high incidence of
lightning strikes.

We had our doubts about DAS, but the system works. We thought if we could eliminate half the strikes, it’d be useful. Eighteen years later, to my knowledge, there hasn’t been one strike.

I contacted 8 companies from LEC’s reference list. Every single one said, in essence, not only does it work, but it’s money well spent. I’d been in the industry for more than 20 years and I’d never seen 100% project buy-off before.

Since installing the DAS we have saved $100,000 in the first year alone, the DAS system has more than paid for itself, the rest goes to the bottom line. We are now specifying DAS for our planned expansion.

Five different sites located through the gas pipeline in Mexico have used DAS… We can draw the conclusion that the system is performing as specified and preventing strikes to the protected areas.

The DAS was installed on our data center building about 12 years ago… recently a severe storm came through producing 6,000 strikes in a 5 sq. mile radius, we were not struck at all.

Our ranger station is at 10,000 ft. elevation, with a metal roof. The building was struck directly many times each season...We came to LEC to solve a problem that everyone else said could not be solved.

We have had no direct strikes since the DAS installation. We can see the storms coming, with the rocks being struck near us, but the strikes now bypass the lookout building.

Thank you for your system. Prior to its installation we had suffered several lightning strikes, the most serious was to our FM transmitter on Lookout Mountain. Since we’ve used your system, we have had no problems whatsoever!

We have had no 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 damage.

Our utilities operate in a high lightning area. It would appear that Lightning Eliminators charge transfer devices are effective… based on our long-standing operational experience.

Since the installation of the (DAS) system we have had no losses or down time related to lightning. History of the station shows many down times, with none now. Thank you for this technology.

The result [of DAS] has been no known lightning strikes to the off-gas stack in almost ten years.
Instead of using our resources to repair broken equipment and pay emergency overtime, we're preventing the problem in the first place.

Following DAS implementation, we found an 80% reduction in lightning strikes within 500-meters of the off-gas stack…
The data shows us the DAS system works.
