TESLA-S - Model E.S.E - Lightning Conductor Brochure

The TESLA-S lightning head carries a sharp pointed rod, made from special bronze alloy to attract and capture lightning. This rod incorporates a safety arc gap for the main lightning current and is attached to a sphere shape casing. A metal horizontal disc is fitted symmetrically around the casing, making electrical contact with it and the rod. The disc will react to the bad weather electric field and will be charged inductively with the field rise.
