Retractable Grounding Assembly ( RGA)
Prevent Tanks Fired Caused by Lightning Currents

LEC' s award - winning Retractable Grounding Assembly ( RGA) is a highly-effective and vistually maintenance - free grounding system specially designed for floating roof storage tanks.

The patented RGA substantially reduces the risk tanks fires by subduing sustained arcs during lightning events and other electrical phenomena. The RGA is able to do this better than other methods, because designer analyzed and found ways to overcome the weaknesses of other, traditional, devices for grounding floating roof tanks.

Features :
- Effective : Permanent, reliable, low impedance bond prevent fires triggered by lightning currents
- Economical : Low initial cost and exceptional return on investment
- Easy-to-Install : 2 hour install on new and existing tanks
- Low - Maintenance : Requires vistually no upkeep as compared to shunts.

The RGA Solutions :
he Retractable Grounding Assembly ( RGA) is the only solution that is effective in meeting the risk-reduction requirements :
1. The retractable, braided grounding cable maximizes surface area and adjusts its length with the height of the floating roof, guaranteeing the lowest possible impedance/ resistance
2. The RGA is not affected by the condition of the tank because the RGA and cable are bolted and sealed to optimal locations on the tank shell and floating roof.
3. When properly applied, multiple RGAs on each tank provide low-impedance pathways to safely discharge lightning
currents.
