Examples of Lightning Protection Measures: Broadcasting Station - Lightning Prevention for the Main Transmission Station and Relay Stations on the Mountain Summit.
We will introduce cases where lightning accidents occurring within facilities have decreased!
We would like to share feedback received from a local broadcasting station in Toyama that has been using multiple PDCE units over several years. At this station, the main transmission site and relay stations are installed on mountain peaks, where the probability of direct lightning strikes is high. When a strike occurs, failures in the power supply and broadcasting equipment frequently happen, and if damage occurs, it can take several hours of hiking through snowy mountains to reach the site, which has been a source of concern. "We have received feedback that since we replaced four relay stations along the coast, which had a high incidence of damage, with PDCE lightning rods four years ago, we have not experienced any lightning damage," they reported. [Case Overview] ■ Challenge: The high probability of direct lightning strikes frequently caused failures in the power supply and broadcasting equipment, and if damage occurred, it could take several hours of hiking through snowy mountains to reach the site. ■ Effect: There has been no lightning damage for four years. ■ Survey Area - Survey Location: Toyama Prefecture [Latitude 36°49'27"/Longitude 137°12'42"] - Survey Range: 60km x 60km centered around the above location. *For more details, please download the PDF or feel free to contact us.
