We are using it on a scale of hundreds of units! Here is a case study from a railway company.
We would like to share feedback received from a certain railway company that has been using multiple PDCE units over several years. This company has traditionally struggled with lightning damage, particularly in elevated sections in the city center. In 2013, a train was struck by lightning on a bridge, causing significant transportation disruptions. As a preventive measure, PDCE lightning rods were gradually installed not only on bridges but also in elevated sections. "We have not experienced any lightning damage in the areas where the rods have been installed since then, and we are feeling the effects of lightning suppression," is the feedback we have received. 【Case Summary】 ■ Issue: The company had been troubled by lightning damage, especially in elevated sections in the city center. ■ Effect: There has been no lightning damage in the areas where the rods have been installed to date. ■ Survey Area - Central Point: Seijo Gakuen Mae Station [Latitude 35°38’25"/Longitude 139°35’57"] - Survey Range: 10km x 10km centered on the above point. *For more details, please download the PDF or feel free to contact us.
