GUARDIAN CAT SERIES
Direct Strike Protection Products
LPI offers three types of direct strike protection systems, which include the full package of air terminals and accessories. LPI Guardian System 5 provides a purpose-designed package for direct lightning protection. The Guardian System 5 has been tested in compliance to IEC Test Standard: IEC 60-1:1989.The LPI Stormaster ESE range of terminals provides a safe and efficient system for the protection of your facility from direct lightning strikes. The Stormaster ESE range of terminals have been fully tested in accordance with NF C 17-102 in a high voltage laboratory.In Addition LPI also offers conventional lightning protection system which complies to International Standards such as IEC 62305, BS EN 62305 and AS/NZ 1768.
LPI offers a family of air terminals and accessories. Our product design is based on the most recent advances in the field whilst maintaining proven principles associated with the successes of the past.
LPI IS Guardian System 5 provides a purpose-designed package for direct lightning protection.
1. A Family of LPI CAT (Controlled Advanced Triggering) series air terminals.
2. A Fibreglass Reinforced Plastic (FRP) mast which provides an insulated mast for mounting of LPI CAT series air terminals.
3. A purpose designed LPI High Voltage Shielded Cable (HVSC) specifically designed for the conveying of lightning energy to ground. Alternatively, depending on the local codes and applications, other materials such as flat copper tape or stranded cable may be used.
4. LPI Lightning Strike Recorder (LSR) which confirms system efficiency and effectiveness.
5. An earthing system consisting of earth rods, clamps, copper tapes and earth enhancing compounds such as LPI Ground Resistance Improvement Powder (GRIP) or LPI Reslo. The LPI Guardian System 5 provides a safe and efficient system for the protection of your facility from direct lightning strikes. The LPI CAT terminal captures the lightning discharge at a preferred point and the energy is transferred to ground via the High Voltage Shielded Cable with minimal risk of electrifying the structure.
Once the energy enters the dedicated lightning earth, it is safely dissipated without risk to personnel and equipment.
Terminals
LPI Guardian CAT series terminals consist of
A finial with a blunt tip
An electrically “floating” medium consisting of 4 electrically isolated panels
A triggering procedure which allows for an intercepting streamer to be released at the correct time, thus providing the greatest possible area of protection
A high voltage connection at the base of the finial
LPI offers 4 models within the family of CAT terminals
CAT I - G
CAT I GI-G
CAT II - G
CAT III - G
GI Model – For direct mounting to 2 inch GI Pipe.
