Functions

Active lightning attraction – accelerates leader formation and “captures” the lightning discharge, directing it to the grounding system
Large protection radius – one device can protect a large area, reducing the need for additional lightning rods
High resistance – ensures safe operation even during strong lightning discharges
Fast activation – enables more effective interception compared to passive solutions
Durable construction – stainless steel body resistant to corrosion, UV radiation, and extreme weather conditions
Easy mast mounting – adapted to standard lightning protection systems

Applications

For electricians: easy-to-install solution integrated into standard grounding systems
For engineers/designers: allows project optimization – fewer lightning rods, larger protection area
For farmers/business owners: protects assets, equipment, and buildings from costly lightning damage
For residential users: suitable for private houses, especially in open areas or elevated locations

Use Cases

On residential building roofs – protects the entire building from lightning strikes
On warehouses or industrial buildings – protects equipment and personnel
On farm buildings – protects grain, feed, or machinery storage
On solar power plants – protects inverters and modules
On fuel stations, biogas or chemical facilities – critical safety measure
On administrative buildings, schools, hospitals – ensures human safety

Advantages

Large protection radius
High resistance
Fast operation
Durable stainless steel construction
Reduced number of installation points
Suitable for both industrial and residential applications
More efficient than passive lightning rods
Reliable solution for critical infrastructure

Disadvantages

Requires professional installation
Needs a high-quality grounding system
Design must comply with lightning protection standards

FAQ

What is the difference between an active and a conventional lightning rod?
The active model reacts faster and increases the protection zone, making it more effective.

Is grounding required?
Yes, without a proper grounding system the lightning rod cannot safely dissipate the discharge.

Is it suitable for a private house?
Yes, especially if the house is in an open area or higher than its surroundings.

What is the service life?
Due to the stainless steel construction, the service life is long – when properly installed, it can operate for decades.
