Lightning protection case study: Using subsidies to protect national treasures at the mountain summit from lightning.
From 4 lightning rods to 1 PDCE! Introducing a case where subsidies were utilized for implementation.
We would like to introduce a case where the Musashi Mitake Shrine, located at the summit of Mount Mitake, utilized subsidies to implement the "PDCE Lightning Ball." Due to the frequent thunderstorms in the area, lightning strikes on trees and equipment damage from induced lightning occur almost every year. Furthermore, in the fall of 2022, a significant lightning strike completely disabled the security and disaster prevention functions. Since the items we want to protect, including the treasure hall, are designed to fit within the protective area of the PDCE, we decided to replace the four lightning rods with one PDCE. We utilized subsidies from Tokyo Metropolitan Government and Ome City for the replacement of damaged equipment and the introduction of new facilities. The PDCE Lightning Ball, equipped with features that prevent lightning strikes, has already protected 4,100 installations nationwide, including those in the Self-Defense Forces, railways, factories, and outdoor sports facilities. [Case Summary] ■ Challenges - Frequent thunderstorms from summer to autumn - A significant lightning strike completely disabled security and disaster prevention functions ■ Results - Replaced four lightning rods with one PDCE - Equipment failures due to induced lightning still occur, but they are now manageable with repairs *For more details, please download the PDF or feel free to contact us.
