    Lightning 56df2f2b163d8

    The economic and safety implications of lightning can be devastating. In general, the highest point of a facility is the most vulnerable to a direct lightning strike. Lightning rods or air terminals are needed to capture the strike to a preferred point and to safely conduct the energy to ground to minimize the risk.

    The ERICO (now a Pentair company) Dynasphere air terminal provides a preferred point for lightning discharges which would otherwise strike and damage an unprotected structure and/or its contents.
