When we talk about types of lightning rod must distinguish those who are within the rules and those not.

Lightning rod present regulations or certificates

SIMPLE LIGHTNING RODS

Are more known, invented by Benjamin Franklin in 1749, they are still used today.

  • Simplicity
  • Low cost
  • Easy installation
  • Conductors are connected forming conductive mesh or Faraday cages

See Simple lightning rods

SIMPLE LIGHTNING RODS

PDC LIGHTNING ROD (E.S.E.)

They have a much broader than termination rods thanks to the upward advance by ionization of the air particles around the tip of the sensor, without adding radio electronics protection.

  • High level of protection
  • Maxim durability guaranteed
  • Easy installation
  • Operation guaranteed in any atmospheric condition

PDC.E LIGHTNING ROD (E.S.E.)

PDC.E lightning rod with electronic ESE system offer the most effective and safe protection before lightning. They have been designed to reduce the time of the electro atmospheric discharge, in order to increase their capacity for lightning capture

  • High level protection
  • It doesn’t need external power supply
  • Easy installation
  • Operation guaranteed in any atmospheric condition.

See PDC.E lightning rod

Lightning rod PDCE

These are the most known and used in regulations. Other types of lightning rods use different technologies, but not being covered by the regulations we can not guarantee full operation.
