<p>The present invention is a large-size device designed for protection against lightning that is capable of intercepting and conducting direct atmospheric discharges (LIGHTNING) to ground. This device replaces with advantages conventional down conductors and conventional grounding system, since it can reduce the Lens effect (electromagnetic induction) and surface electric gradient produced by a lightning discharge. It is a two-piece device, large size industrial product, with the main objective of improving lightning rods and protecting electronic equipment and living beings against the dangerous Lens effect and soil electric potential (STEP VOLTAGE), with deadly action on quadruped animals, as well as forest fire prevention. It can be a central, integral part of a metal tower of mechanical support, forming a combined industrial product.</p> |
