Lightning Surge Protection Devices That Ensure Uninterrupted Manufacturing Processes
Indirect lightning effects refer to the secondary or indirect consequences of a lightning strike that does not make physical contact with a structure or object but still affects it. These effects can result from the electromagnetic field and electrical surges created by a nearby lightning strike. Indirect lightning effects can damage electronic equipment, communication systems, and electrical circuits.
Fortunately, there are measures you can put in place to provide different levels of lightning protection to your facility and surface electronics equipment that can provide protection in the event of a nearby hit – Lightning surge protection devices.
Some facts about surges:
Voltage surges are elevations in voltage that can occur in electrical distribution, data communications, and telephone lines, resulting in premature aging of components and/or damage to the equipment connected to the network.
Overvoltages are caused by direct lightning, indirect disconnection of inductive loads (coils, motors, etc ...), network switches, and/or defects in them.
Overvoltage surges are large spikes with a slope and are short-lived, yet the strong effects on sensitive electronic equipment are devastating.
The level of the voltage that can appear on the network is a function of the type of attack, aerial or underground, and the proximity of the MV / LV transformer.
Here at LEC, our lightning surge protection devices are built as per UL listing standards which provides the following important benefits:
Increased reliability against electrical fast transients/burst surge events such as lightning strikes
Tested to 4kV, Immunity testing, and electrostatic discharge protection to 15,000 Volts
RF Radiated Immunity
Magnetic field immunity
Protection against voltage dips & interruptions protection on the supply line
Conducted RF immunity, including lightning strikes
Protection against system failure due to incorrect field wiring, poor quality source power, and improper grounding
Lightning Surge protection devices are needed to alleviate all transient and surge concerns. LEC has UL-listed products like Facility Guard, Transient Limiters, DC surge protectors, etc. There are also low-voltage data lines and telecommunication protection products like TE500, DLP, and CLP.
Connect with our lightning eliminator specialist to find out more about our lightning surge protection devices for your facility that will safeguard your infrastructure, ensuring uninterrupted operations, protecting valuable equipment, and prioritizing the safety of the workforce, even in the face of nature’s most powerful and unpredictable electrical phenomenon.

On Excrucian Names (9)
On and on and on!
Earlier posts: (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8)
Till the world is gone!
        So, we left things off at “fever.” You may notice that we’re going faster now; that’s because I covered all of the example names with the prefixes, meaning that the suffix entries fit on one line, and that discourages me from stopping to put a note after each one. ^_^
Let’s get to burning!
            -------
      FIRE -brand
FLOWERS -kai
FOREST -vid, -vida
GAME -hild, -hilda, -hilt, -ilda, -ildi
       Notes
This was, of course, “victory/war,” before, but I shifted it to something that felt more in tune with being a strategist. Albeit somewhat tongue-in-cheek.
There were just too many war-words, and I wanted to facilitate things like “shell game.” ^_^
             -------
       GOOD           -co; -gud; -mad, -maph, -math
           Notes
-math as “good” was straight proto-Germanic, and it worked well enough, so I didn’t go outside that. I could have made “-maph” different, but I felt more like shoving it in under “good;” part of that is that it means that you’re very rarely going to say “this sounds best with -mad/-math but they both have sort of weird connotations in English, it weirds me out too much, I guess I have to go with -co or -gud or some other root!”
              -------
       GRAVE -stilla, -vald
         Notes
At some point I noticed that -stilla, grave, and -stila, chalice, were awfully similar, and decided that that it’s some kind of weird poetic Excrucian thing.
             -------
             GREED -avi
GUARD -senta, -sontha, -suentha, -suintha, -suntha, -svintha, -swinth, -swintha, -swinthe, -swith
          Notes
This is obviously incorrect; the proper meaning is closer to “strong.” But “guard” worked best with the prefixes!
           -------
       GUEST -gast, -gaster, -gastes; -bastus
HAT/HELM/MASK -elm
HONOR -rin, -rina, -ryna
           Notes
I literally can’t see this without seeing that actor pretending to be Zuko in the Avatar Hamlet episode going, “Honor!!”
It gets me every time, just like using cumin in the kitchen gets The Killers’ “Human” playing in my head.
            -------
       Are we cumin Or are we ancho Are we cumin Or are we ancho
         -------
          HOUSE -gard, -garde
JOY -uin/-win
JUSTICE -ce       
           Notes
Remember, kids! There’s no “I” in justice! [’s name root]
         -------
        KEEP -bur, -but, -buth; -bod
LIFE -an, -ana, -en, -enne, -ian, -iana, -ienne; -gaya, -geniya
LIGHT -de
LIKENESS -lec, -leik
LOCAL ARISTOCRACY -dau, -dav, -dava
         Notes
This last root is actually the origin of the Creational Estate of Daves, through much the same mangled process that created bears. I don’t actually talk about this in Glitch; you’re the first to know!
            -------
       LOVE -bia, -leova, -leuva, -lieva, -liva, -live, -luva
MERCY -fredus, -frid, -fridia, -frida, -frithila, -fidil, -ph, -phrasia
MERRIMENT -ba, -bas, -bias, -bius
MONSTER -is
      Notes
This came from my thinking about Eisarnis/Hisarnis, which properly meant “the iron one” as best as I could discover, and trying to figure out a suffix that let the name Hisarnis carry that same sense of indomitability without the suffix just meaning “one.”
            -------
      PASSAGE -hlid, -hlida, -hlith, -hlitha, -litha, -lithae
   Notes
I may have already said, but I was really disappointed that I couldn’t make this “lid,” so that Iolithae was “eternal lid” or “keep a lid on her, seriously.” But it wasn’t really that functional, y’know, it would have meant names like “extreme lid,” “fight the lid,” “fickle lid,” “fast-moving lid,” “foreign lid” ...
I mean, those prefixes aren’t all great with “passage,” either, but they’re so much better!
         -------
       PEACE -sten, -stena, -stina
(λ-)PERSON -gotha, -gotho, -gothus, -goto
PLACE -nuan
        Notes
Completely made up, long before I started doing my ridiculous approximation of linguistic “research.”
             -------
              PLAY -gisclus, -gisel, -gisklos
    Notes
Another name element that I put a new meaning to by looking at the prefixes it went with. I just ... like, it used to be hostage. Who goes around naming their kid “fight-hostage?” “extreme hostage?” “ring-shaped hostage?” “fuzzy hostage?”
It’s also hard to get a name like that through acclamation, barring truly unfortunate circumstances.
... so I made a new meaning up!
             -------
     POWER -ker
PRIZE -gelda, -gelis, -gild, -gilda, -gildus
          Notes
One consequence of the kind of haphazard way I’m doing this ... or, rather, I should say, the way that I opted not to spend five years on either research or development of the Excrucian language ... is that some of the suffix meanings drifted away from their obviously paired prefixes. Like, “Gild-” and “-gild” don’t quite track any longer: “valuing the worldly” and “prize.”
I wound up going back and fixing some of these later, but declaring others to be just, like, you know, language, funny old thing. Honestly, “language is a funny old thing” is my excuse for most of this; it doesn’t have to make sense, it just has to make a lot more sense than it would if I were just making stuff up from scratch.
But it may have wound up less regular than it ought to have been, in which case, I can only apologize and run away!
           -------
       RAVEN -hrabans, -hrams, -ram, -ravans
RIDER -rit; -sind, -sinda     
         Notes
I dragged “-sind” in here to join -rit because I decided I didn’t need a separate “traveler.” The word “Rider” has many additional connotations in context, but it really can’t help also giving the impression of someone riding around on a horse!
(I mean, unless it really tries? I don’t mean to just stuff words into boxes. Ganbatte, “Rider!” Fighto! You can mean disestablishmentarianism or eudaimonia if you just do your best!)
           -------
      SALVATION   -nas
SEA -sius
       Notes
So apparently there are seas in the Beyond! I didn’t actually know that before I started working on the name list. I made some stuff up about them later.
     -------
         SELF -sicus
SLAUGHTER -da, -do, -to, -tta, -tto
SOFTNESS -lind
SOUL -sael, -sila, -sula
SPEAR -gais, -gaisus, -ges, -gaith, -gaithus, -gesus, -geis, -geisus, -gid, -gidus, -gis, -gisus, -za; -gares
        Notes
They really love their spears!
                 -------
          SPLENDOR -vult
STAFF -rung
STRAIGHTAWAY -rago, -rax
STRATEGY -mod, -moda, -mond, -mud, -mund, -munds, -mut
STRENGTH -fortis; -trude
       Notes
Sadly you can’t construct “Gertrude” with this system, although “Gudatrude” is pretty close.
         -------
          THUNDER -donia
TRIAD -trius, -terius
TRANSFORMATION -goia
TREASURE-HOUSE -ark, -arkos, -arkus; -archos
VALLEY -dela, -dila
VISION -red, -rev, -rid, -rida, -ridius, -ridus, -rith
VIZIER  -dia, -té, -teus, -theus, -thia, -tius, -tis, -zia
       Notes
This one used to be “servant,” but I saw a chance to reinforce theme and I grabbed it. ^_^
       -------
       VOID -nnia, -nia, -nya
WATCHFULNESS -acer, -vacar, -vara, -vera
WEAPONRY -sar
WELCOME -berg, -berga, -verga
WEST -stria
WOLF/HOUND -olf, -ulf, -wulf
Diminuitive/Nickname/Familiar
-ca, -ica, -ikas, -ka; -ia, -ias, -ius, -ja, -ya; -in; -din; -la, -las, -lash, -lios, -lla; -ely; -lin, -line, -llino, -llinus, -lona; -us, -dus
      Notes
I had this bit at the bottom of my work file where suffixes that I really couldn’t do anything with, even with my extremely loose lookup standards, went. I sort of mentally sorted them into groups as I went, as you can see above. It wasn’t until a later draft that I actually worked out a bit about how the Ninuanni diminutives function. Of course, since English is the language of my primary audience, and isn’t one of those languages with an inherent and complex diminutive system (... I think, maybe I have familiarity-blinders), doing anything extensive here is probably a bit too much; ultimately, I assigned them all subtle connotations but also said, “Oh, by the way, just like you kind of have to ask a Russian if you want to know if a given diminutive works in Russian, you have to ask the players if a given diminutive works in Ninuanni; they’re the experts on what sounds right and what is just a laughable outsider’s attempt.”
                -------
        Possessive Case -im
Unknown/Unclear -pa, -pas
      Notes
Yes, this does mean that if your name is Aupa, nobody knows what any of it means. Aupa Ninuanni Style!
         -------
     And that’s the list!
(I’ll repost the full version without comments separately.)
So, one would think that at this point things would be good. We now have a good list of meanings, and every name is sort of poetic, sort of, and at least a few of them have a genuine depth of meaning.
... but looking at it, back then, it all felt kind of flimsy. Kind of shallow.
Like, the Excrucians are dramatic, right? It felt like, they’d be all dramatically telling someone that their name means “war-welcome,” or whatever, and it ...
It just wasn’t extra enough.
I mean, my name is white-shadow pure/clear the great, or possibly Heaven pure/clear the Great, or “the Great Pure Heaven,” a name meaning a lot more dramatic than “war-welcome,” I’ll tell you that, and that’s just five minutes on google.
For an Earth name, frankly, that is as ordinary as dry toast.
So ...
I mean, yeah, I figured, players would like this, and I certainly wasn’t going to throw away the work to this point, I was keeping it, but I wasn’t satisfied, it was ultimately just a mix-and-match roleplaying system.
I wanted something more like ...
Like ...
Like that thing that makes fanfiction writers so obsessed with Emiya saying “I am the bone of my sword.”
(Besides arguable Freudian interpretations.)
I wanted Excrucian names and their meanings to be genuinely over the top, genuinely powerful in the right contexts and genuinely ridiculous in the wrong ones.
I wanted them to be poetry.
So that’s where I went next.
To something more like:
    -------
       ARMY [(THE) ARMY’S]
“A thousand voices shout my name, a thousand horses stomp their feet, a gory weapon in my hand:”
  Name elements: Ar-, Arg-, Har-, Harja-
Common Names: Argaith, army’s spear; Ariaric, army’s commander; Arimir, army’s fever; Ariana, army’s life; Harumaph, army’s good.
     Arimir (Example)
A thousand voices shout my name, a thousand horses stomp their feet, a gory weapon in my hand: hot blood pounding, dizzy heat, a feverish delirium ...
         -------
        This was going to be, as it turned out, rather a lot of work, because the prefixes and the suffixes all had to match.
I didn’t get it perfect, I think, because that’s a lot to ask. I carried around a bunch of the suffix poems in my head and tried them against each prefix as I worked, and did a bunch of cross-comparison when I can, but some of them will still probably land leaden.
Still, that’s what we’re going to be talking about next. ^_^

Maintenance of Lightning Rod Protection
History of lightning rod protection
Benjamin Franklin’s passion for researching electricity led him to pay attention to a phenomenon that had gone unnoticed by many others before him. One day, he was flying a kite when it was struck by lightning that burned it up, which led the ingenious researcher to wonder if it were possible to attract lightning bolts in some way.
He tied a metal key to his kites and continued flying them on stormy days until he was able to capture a bolt. Electricity went down the string of the kite until reaching the key. That is how he demonstrated that it was possible to divert lightning bolt to a metal, thus sparing other elements from being struck.
Evolution of Lightning rod protection
For over 50 years, LEC has been providing advanced lightning protection systems worldwide. The advanced systems LEC designs, manufactures and applies do not provide the traditional Franklin Rod protection schemes. Rather, we take the view we should avoid the strike, not collect it.
Our lightning rod uses a naturally occurring, scientific phenomenon called point discharge to retard the collection of lightning within a finite protection zone. Thus they should be inspected and maintained regularly.
Lightning rod protection and maintenance
Lightning rods must undergo periodic tests and maintenance. This allows the detection of deviations from the reference standards or anomalies in the installation caused by environmental conditions such as corrosion, incorrect handling such as sectioning or robberies, or other circumstances such as expansions of the building where the lightning rod is located.
We offer a comprehensive inspection, test and maintenance service for earthing and lightning rod protection systems. With our fully trained test engineers, you can rest assured that the earthing and lightning protection test and maintenance requirements are in safe hands, and that your system, if maintained correctly, will protect the building and the people and equipment within it, whenever it is called upon to do so.
During lightning rod protection and maintenance we check for:
Damages
If the elements of lightning rod are in good state
Continuity of the conductors are correct
Condition of the fixtures
Corrosion damages
State of equipotential bonding
Checking electrical continuity of down conductors
Correct performance of the lightning rod
In case of repairs a written report that includes the scope of work and estimate is sent.
LEC is a smart risk reduction choice for critical system. Contact us to receive a quote.

The Key That You Must Master to Indoor Planting
Growing your own cannabis can be a great and fulfilling venture, but there are certain struggles that people encounter if they’re not prepared enough. But worry not, all the headaches and wasted material can be prevented with some preparation and well selected information. It`s all goes down to being prepared, putting in some effort and laying down the foundations for a hassle free growing process.
 Below are several key points.
 1. PICK THE RIGHT POT
When growing weed on a balcony or terrace, you'll be growing them in some kind of pot or container. It depends a bit on your preferences and skills as a grower, but all you really need is a standard flower pot with drainage holes and a saucer to catch any excess water.
Far more important than the type of container, is the size of said container. After all, the size of the pot will directly impact the size of your plants.
 2. Make Sure You’re Watering The Right Amount
If you’ve ever worked with HID lights before, you understand how much water plants require beneath them.
This is because HID lights are mostly infrared, which greatly reduces the moisture content of your plants. Infrared is harsh, and it can dry out your leaves and harden your soil.
Since LED lights are only partially infrared balanced with other waves of light, the concentration isn’t enough to dehydrate your plants.
This means that watering LED-lit plants the same way you would water HID lit plants could potentially be drowning them. Always check your moisture levels before you water.
 3. Beware of the Pests
Bugs and pests, like the most-common spider mites, can be a serious hazard to your crop. Cannabis plants can easily be infected with several types of bugs that can be fatal for the whole crop. Bugs, pests, spider mites, can come to your indoor garden if you take clones from other growers or dispensary, or from a soil that is already infected. Also, having more people working in your indoor garden can result in contamination with pests.
 4. Get Your pH Right
So many problems experienced by beginners can be traced back to incorrect pH levels. Especially as what look a lot like nutrient deficiencies often aren’t deficiencies at all—they’re pH problems—and they can be made even worse by adding more nutes!
It stands for potential Hydrogen and is a measurement of acidity and alkalinity. The measurement scale runs from 0 to 14. Neutral pH is 7, less than 7 is acidic, higher than 7 is alkaline.
 5. Humidity and Water System Management
Humidity is the amount of water moisture in the air. You need the right amount of moisture in the garden for the growth process. Too much moisture will cause mold and fungus growth in the buds. Too little humidity, on the other hand, will cause your cannabis plants to go dry.
 6. Maintain a healthy root zone Unfortunately, it’s often difficult to discern whether plant pathology is a result of root-zone failures or nutrient problems, Morelli says, so getting ahead of any problems is key. If the root zone fails, the plant stops functioning and will produce a “dismal crop of mediocre flower at best,” Morelli says.
 If you want great bud, you have to provide plenty of light! When you start a grow with good genetics – from good seeds or clones – your plant has the potential for a high level of quality (yields, potency, resilience). However, it’s nearly impossible to get your buds to reach that potential if you use cannabis grow lights that are underpowered.
Powerful grow lights like HPS, LECs or full spectrum LED grow lights produce the biggest and most dense buds

Number 1 Reason Why Yearly Maintenance of Lightning Protection Design System is Important
It’s important to ensure that your facility’s lightning protection design system is in good condition and in proper working order. This means having regular maintenance and repair to help determine and identify potential problems. If these systems aren’t working as they should, they could cause hazards to health and safety for all occupants within the facility. A regular lightning protection, inspection and maintenance can help determine and identify potential threats or problems – deviations from the reference standards or anomalies in the installation caused by environmental conditions such as corrosion, incorrect handling such as sectioning or robberies, or other circumstances such as expansions of the building where the LPS is located.
Investing in a regular maintenance program can help maintain compliance with regulations, prevent untimely plant shutdowns, and help save money by addressing issues before they turn into expensive unplanned repairs.
Our services:
-  LEC’s fleet of inspection and testing engineers are fully competent in undertaking the detailed inspection and testing of all lightning protection design systems. We recommend yearly inspections, to take account of seasonal variations, ensuring that the entire system is effective at all times.
-  We also provide certificates of inspection detailing our findings, plus details of any repairs required to return systems to a serviceable condition.
-  All our repairs and maintenance works are carried out by our own expert engineers working to agreed methods and time scales; ensuring remedial work does not affect your staff or on-site operations
-  Upon completion of repairs and maintenance, your installation is fully re-tested. Certificates are then issued, detailing the test results and confirming the system's compliance to relevant standards.
Scope of inspection:
-  Visual Inspection of all materials used to conduct current
-  Inspection of lightning rod to ensure none are bent, cracked, broken or otherwise damaged.
-  Refastening and tightening of components and conductors where required.
-  Check for loose, damaged or cut cable connections
-  Continuity tests and measurement of system resistance and grounding electrodes
A special note:
LEC provides the only ‘No Strike’ Warranty in the industry on our DAS solutions. When installed, maintained and supervised by LEC, our DAS prevents direct strikes with a 99% success rate, minimizing the risks to facilities and operations. The benefits can be substantial, resulting in a healthier bottom line and increasing reliability and safety. However like every other lightning protection design product this too requires yearly maintenance.

The Importance Of Maintaining A Lightning Rod Protection System
Lightning rods must undergo periodic inspections and maintenance, as indicated by national and international regulations. These periodic inspections allow the detection of deviation from reference standards or anomalies in the installations caused by environmental conditions such as corrosions, incorrect handling or expansion of the building where the lighting rod protection is installed. Maintenance of an effective lightning rod protection system is essential due to the following: - Efficiently dissipate heavy fault currents and electrical surges, both in magnitude and duration, to protect equipment being damaged so as to minimize downtime, service interruptions and replacement costs - Provide a stable reference for electrical and RF circuits at the installation to minimize noise during normal operations - Protection of personnel who work within the area from dangerous electrical shocks For a lightning rod protection system to work optimally, each and every part needs to be in good condition. For example, lightning rods must work correctly, down conductors must maintain continuity at all times, ground resistance must be below 10 ohms, etc. Generally, lighting rod protection maintenance consists of two types: Visual inspection - No physical damage due to a lightning strike - All the elements within the lightning rod are in good state - Fixings are in good conditions - No parts are damaged by corrosion - State of equipotential bonding is correct - Report of systems for compliance with current codes Complete verification This includes physical verification mentioned above along with other necessary measures as specified by our engineers at the time of installation – electrical tests, performance parameters, resistance testing, continuity testing and ground, and soil resistivity testing. In the hands of experienced engineers from LEC, proper testing and maintenance of lightning rod protection system can become a routine, minus any harassment. At the very least, the consequences of not taking a thorough approach could incur unnecessary costs, and given the destructive potential of a lightning strike, those consequences could be much worse. At the end of the day, regardless of the industry, whether an electric power plant, power generation facility, utility, or sub-station, oil gas upstream or downstream, platform, rig, tank farm or the building that houses the operational equipment or sensitive equipment, all must be protected and that protection must be checked continuously in order to work. Lastly, because changes are likely if not inevitable, all building maintenance schedules should include annual lightning protection equipment maintenance.
