Advanced Lightning Protection Device Launched for Marine Industry

Dinnteco America, a leader in lightning protection technology, has introduced a new solution called the Electromagnetic Charge Compensation Device (DDCE) for the marine, military, energy, and transportation industries. This device is designed to prevent direct lightning strikes by collecting positive charges from its surroundings and negative charges from the clouds and air. By neutralizing these charges within the DDCE, it disrupts the upward path required for lightning to form, effectively protecting both the device and the structure it safeguards.

Todd Tally, General Manager of Atlantic Marine Electronics, highlighted the significant consequences of lightning strikes for boat owners, including damage to vessels and expensive marine electronics systems. This can result in lost time, cancelled plans, and a lack of income. While lightning coverage is available from select insurers, it is often not offered due to liability issues and a shrinking marine insurance market. Dinnteco’s DDCE offers a solution to these problems with proven patented technology, providing protection for both recreational and commercial marine markets.

The DDCE is specially designed to withstand the harsh marine environment, constructed with stainless steel, polyoxometalates (POM), and saline to offer up to 100m of protection and ensure long-lasting performance. Easy to install, the system comes in various sizes and weights, meeting all RoHS standards and backed by a three-year warranty. This innovative technology provides a reliable solution for lightning protection in marine applications, offering peace of mind for boat owners and operators in the face of unpredictable weather conditions.
