How it Works:
Operating Principles
The technological innovation of the CMCE Multiple Electric Field Compensator creates and maintains a balanced electric environment within its protective three-dimensional radius.
As an electrostatic current PASSIVE CAPTURING SYSTEM, the CMCE:
Absorbs charges that appear in the surrounding electromagnetic field,
Arranges charges internally based on their natural form,
Creates a controlled flow of leakage current in harmless milliamperes – between 50a and 350mA in fair weather and 700a to 1,800mA in storm phase – through the ground wire to the earth take.
When the electric field changes, provoked by variations in the surrounding environment, the CMCE reacts by absorbing and draining excess charges into the ground. This process eliminates upward streamers and prevents the development of lightning within the devices coverage radius.
Installation.
To meet precise installation requirements and identify the most qualified installers, we strongly recommend reaching out to us. Our team is equipped to provide specific installation guidelines tailored to the CMCE device and can recommend highly trained and qualified professionals for correct installation. We can also advise on local regulations and standards for lightning protection system installations in your area to guarantee compliance and maximize protection.
The Real Cost of a Strike.
On average, lightning strikes cause more than $2 billion annually in covered payouts to small and medium-sized businesses in the United States. This figure reflects the significant economic impact of lightning strikes on commercial properties, which account for a substantial portion of property insurance claims in the country. This statistic underscores the substantial financial risk associated with lightning strikes and highlights the need for effective lightning protection measures
