Strikesorb Application in Communication Towers

Communication towers, which are generally located at altitudes starting from 1500 m, stand out as the points most exposed to lightning and most frequently damaged by lightning strikes. In these towers, the lightning problem is an issue that must definitely be solved due to both difficult access and their strategic missions. For example, if a lightning strike that can cause damage hits a tower located at an altitude of 4000 m in the middle of winter, many problems may arise because immediate intervention is not possible due to transportation difficulties. In addition, considering that grounding is also problematic in towers, protecting communication towers against lightning is a subject that requires significant expertise.

The Raycap Strikesorb system is an excellent technology that eliminates lightning damage in these towers. With features such as activation within 1 ns, unlimited surge damping within its capacity, and the ability to provide protection with a peak value of 200 kA, Strikesorb technology is specially designed for towers. As Yılkomer, we have succeeded in stopping lightning damage in thousands of towers that we have protected in our country. In addition, Rayvoss systems, which do not require low earth resistance, enable investments to be made in protection instead of grounding investments. You can access many details on the subject from the Strikesorb and Rayvoss system contents on our Yılkomer blog page.
