PDC E Lightning Rod vs. Standard Lightning Rod [PDC E News No. 6 May 2018 Announcement]

Preventing lightning damage in advance with a "lightning prevention mechanism" that differs from conventional lightning rods. Compliant with JIS A 4201/JIS Z 9290. *Case study collection available.

We are currently offering "manga" and "case materials" that introduce the benefits of the PDCE lightning ball! Please check them out from the <download> link. Conventional lightning rods attract lightning, which poses a risk of equipment failure due to lightning currents flowing through buildings. Our "PDCE lightning ball" is a lightning rod with a reverse-thinking mechanism designed to "avoid lightning strikes themselves." It gathers the same charge as lightning at the top of the lightning rod, preventing the generation of "welcoming discharges" that would attract lightning, thus avoiding strikes. 【Over 100 units used in the Tokyo Olympics - More than 4,000 units nationwide】 Used by major railways, highways, the Self-Defense Forces, chemical complexes, data centers, broadcasting stations, mobile base stations, renewable energy power plants, fire stations, disaster prevention facilities, outdoor sports facilities, golf courses, temples and shrines, schools, outdoor live venues, outdoor digital signage, condominiums, single-family homes, and more. 【Features of the PDCE lightning ball】 ■ Can be used as a "receiving part" under the Building Standards Act ■ Can be installed by replacing conventional pointed lightning rods with PDCE lightning balls ■ Domestic dedicated factory - Quick response to options based on needs ■ If damaged by a direct lightning strike, free replacement for up to 10 years from installation.

New lightning strike countermeasures! Lightning rods that suppress lightning strikes.

The "PDCE" is a lightning rod that suppresses lightning strikes by generating a negative electrode at the top of the building, completely opposite to the conventional lightning rod concept, and preventing discharge from this lightning rod. Since it utilizes charges induced in the ground, no power supply is required. Additionally, it complies with building codes and can replace traditional lightning rods. 【Features】 ■ No power supply required ■ Minimal maintenance costs and effort ■ Complies with building codes ■ Over 3,300 units installed in Japan *For more details, please download the PDF or feel free to contact us.

Introducing a case where lightning accidents occurring within the facility have decreased! Customer feedback.

The "PDCE" is a lightning rod that suppresses lightning strikes by generating a negative electrode at the top of a building, completely contrary to the conventional lightning rod concept, and preventing discharge from this lightning rod. This document introduces feedback from customers who have used multiple units of this product over several years. There are examples of reduced lightning strike incidents occurring within facilities. [Contents] - Situation along private railway lines in Tokyo - Feedback from Odakyu Electric Railway - Situation at a broadcasting station - Feedback from a Toyama private broadcasting station - Protecting the deep-sea drilling vessel "Chikyu" from lightning in the open sea - The PDCE lightning rod complies with the "Building Standards Act" for lightning protection equipment - Protection range and usage considerations *This document summarizes feedback from our customers; however, it reflects past results and does not guarantee that there will never be lightning strikes in the future. Please note the fact that damage has been reduced. *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

Introducing a video of the installation of a lightning rod for lightning strike suppression on a deep Earth exploration vessel!

We have delivered lightning protection rods for lightning suppression to the deep-sea exploration vessel "Chikyu," owned by the Japan Agency for Marine-Earth Science and Technology. The PDCE lightning rod, installed on a 120m tall derrick, forms a barrier that completely covers the vessel (length 210m), preventing lightning strikes within its range. This ensures that "Chikyu" is always protected from lightning strikes, no matter where it conducts research on Earth. [Installation Example] ■ Deep-sea exploration vessel "Chikyu" ■ Delivered lightning protection rods ■ Installed on a 120m tall derrick *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

A lightning rod with a reverse-thinking mechanism designed to avoid lightning strikes, preventing lightning damage in advance.

Our lightning rod "PDCE" is different from the typical "lightning rods that generate upward leaders"; it is equipped with a mechanism to "avoid the lightning strike itself." We are currently offering a collection of case studies with photos and performance data. 【Examples of Use】 <Transportation> ◎ Airport facilities (radar antennas, ILS antennas, apron lighting, hangars, aviation fuel storage facilities) ◎ Port facilities (gantry cranes) ◎ Railways (signal stations, substations, level crossings) ◎ Roads (lighting in service areas and parking areas) <Buildings> ◎ Hospitals ◎ Offices, hotels, apartments ◎ Data centers ◎ Factories ◎ Golf courses ◎ Wooden structures <Open Areas> ◎ Schoolyards, sports fields ◎ Amusement parks, baseball fields <Others> ◎ Wireless antennas (fishing radio, mobile phone base stations, broadcasting stations, emergency disaster prevention radio) ◎ Outdoor surveillance cameras ◎ Energy and chemical industries ◎ Vessels *Please view from <Download>.

Introducing a case of implementing a lightning suppression system at the Great Buddha of Amida (Ushiku City, Ibaraki Prefecture) in a video!

We are introducing examples of PDCE lightning rods in a video. Higashi Honganji Temple (Taito Ward, Tokyo), the head temple of the Jodo Shinshu Higashi Honganji sect, has implemented a lightning suppression system to protect the Great Buddha of Amida (located in Ushiku City, Ibaraki Prefecture) from lightning strikes. As climate warming progresses and the frequency of lightning strikes increases, we have implemented additional safety measures for our visitors. [Installation Examples] ■ Great Buddha of Amida (Ushiku City, Ibaraki Prefecture) ■ Lightning suppression system implemented *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

On January 20 (Tuesday), the Japan Meteorological Agency announced its three-month forecast for the period from February to April. In the vicinity of Japan, the upper-level westerly winds are expected to flow further north than usual, particularly in the latter half of the period. As a result, February is expected to be cold nationwide, while March and April are predicted to be less affected by cold air, leading to a tendency for higher temperatures, except in Okinawa and Amami. With the arrival of spring anticipated to be early, cherry blossoms are also expected to bloom smoothly. Around April, there may be days that feel warm enough to sweat, so in addition to adapting to temperature differences, it is advisable to take measures against ultraviolet rays.
