The main section
of our Lightning Strike Protection line is an
Active
Air Terminals, which are the essence of any "Forend" Lightning Protection System. That’s the part which actually "does the job".
How it works? When the lightning strikes in proximity of the protected structure/house, our Conductor produces an anticipating upward streamer (ready-to-go path) in order to “catch” the lightning strike current and, finally, redirect it to the earth through the grounding electrodes.
The most powerful one is usually used in
Commercial Lightning Protection Systems for buildings
and industrial applications. It covers area 518 feet in diameter. Another one is a mid-size active device for smaller applications -
Lightning Protection Rod System Conductor
and it protects 413 feet diameter teritory. The lightest one is usually bought by private house owners or small businesses. It’s ideal for Regular
Home Lightning Protection System
and defends 315 feet diameter zone.
