Lightning mast by LBA Technology provides critical protection options for three new highly selective

Lightning outdoor asset security has become easier. The LBA Science and Technology currently offers three new models to complement its pointed PLP-30 Lightning mast system. Lightning establish the worldwide equipment damage and loss of life. The new model allows for more effective protection of critical infrastructure and personnel.

Ranging from 14 '(4.3 m) to 38' (11.6 m), Model PLP-14, the PLP-22, and PLP-38 have all of the convenience and the durability of the PLP-30. You can also use the UL certification streamer delaying air terminals and comply with NFPA standards.

Many of the external device is the target of natural lightning. Solar power installations, and mobile satellite antenna, gas metering station, logistics staging area, pumping systems and command center vehicles only fragile assets. PLP-Series lightning mast fixed and portable style, in order to protect the system of all types of risk. The UL listed the streamer fire retarding air terminal PLP mast has proved effective heat lightning costs, but can also safely lightning discharge termination. Unlike traditional lightning rod, and is independent of the PLP is responsible for elimination lightning mast provide a conical protected; shielded car combustible materials, equipment, electronic products, from the discharge and wiring.

"With the combination of air conditioning the end and streamer heat technology PLP lightning mast provides an unmatched lightning strike vulnerable asset package, said:" LBA Chief Technology Officer Dr. Chris Horn, PE. "A lot of customers like the fact that the PLP mast, but very easy to deploy."

For example, a PLP-30 lightning mast for pumping the system can provide a 40-foot (12m) radius of the protective cone eight feet high. Protection of larger areas, can be located in multiple lightning mast: the the five PLP-30 mast erected in the specified mode protection area of ​​25,000 square feet (2320 square meters) of a field hospital. The PLP lighting mast now available in 14 "(4.3 m), 22 (6.7 meters), 30 feet (9 meters), 38 (11.6 meters) in height, to meet the needs of a wide range of applications and budgets.

Full compliance with NFPA and UL standards, PLP series mast, it is made of durable aluminum alloy, guy lines designed to withstand wind of at least 80 miles (128 km). The optional base system allows multiple removal and re-use or permanent installation. Option permanently fixed base attaches importance to the lightning mast, concrete or steel structure. The portable option allows rapid deployment of on-site, and also can be used as non-penetrating roof installation. Two people can be easily installed in less than one hour any PLP Systems.

LBA engineers provide assistance in the PLP Series mast design appropriate configuration to meet a variety of applications.

The final deployment convenience LBA provide a complete somersault tools package, all the mast, PLK-30PK typical. The PLK-30PK flip kit including the threaded connections mast components, portable base, hold the stakes, and the ground system. Into a heavy bag, weighing less than 100 pounds (45.5 kg), ease of assembly and transport systems sets. PLP Series lightning mast configuration, can easily overnight service such as UPS or FedEx courier.

Early adopters PLP-Series mast package including Northrup - Grumman, the Canadian Defense Forces, and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.
