20 March 2021If you are protected with Strikesorb, forget about lightning problems!
Raycap Strikesorb technology continues to perform miracles against lightning; over the last 5 years, our Strikesorb technology products have provided protection with 100% success in the most challenging sites protected in our country. At facilities located at elevations of 2000 meters and above, exposed to thousands of lightning strikes, they continue to provide unlimited protection.

With Raycap Rayvoss protection panels consisting of Strikesorb technology, we have encountered sites receiving hundreds of thousands of strikes in the systems we protected and solved chronic lightning problems.

353,669 Lightning Strikes!
After the protection we implemented at one very high-risk site one year ago, we observed exactly 353,669 strikes on the Rayvoss system counter. This was recorded as the highest number of strikes ever captured by a Rayvoss to date. And the system was operating uninterrupted, while the product was as robust as on the first day! Even with such a high number of strikes, RAYVOSS proved itself by protecting the system, and once again demonstrated its reliability across many sites this year!

124,000 LIGHTNING STRIKES – ZERO DAMAGE!
In another application we carried out at a strategic location in the Mediterranean region, which receives the highest number of lightning strikes in Türkiye, field inspections after one year showed 124,000 strikes recorded on the Rayvoss counter. The system used to suffer damage here every week; however, over the past year, not a single fuse tripped in the system. Given the difficulty of accessing the site, any damage occurring here would have caused many strategic issues for our country. Yet by suppressing over 100,000 lightning strikes, Rayvoss once again proved itself.

3,000 LIGHTNING STRIKES IN A SINGLE DAY!
One week after we completed an installation at a very challenging site in Antalya, a tower was exposed to supercell clouds—phenomena that have begun to appear in our country in recent years—and a total of 3,140 lightning strikes were recorded in a single day. Lightning occurred in the form of serial discharges, with very long discharges between cloud and ground; no conventional DIN rail surge arrester can provide protection against such strikes. We currently do not know the present lightning counter value at that site, but for 3.5 years our customer has not experienced a single issue; this is where we have the opportunity to feel the pride of engineering.
WHAT IS RAYCAP STRIKESORB TECHNOLOGY?
Raycap Strikesorb technology is the world’s most advanced lightning protection surge arrester technology. Conventional DIN rail products are not suitable for areas with extremely high lightning activity and high altitudes. Raycap Strikesorb modules, with a peak value of 200 kA; when used in series with 2–3 modules, can provide protection of 400 kA and above; can detect surges in 1 ns; come with a 10-year warranty and a 20-year service life; can be connected in-line to the system; and are a technology that has proven itself with 400 million modules. If you have a chronic lightning problem, we are ready to protect your site against lightning!
