Forespar Performance Products Lightning Master Static Dissipater Part 151100

Lightning Master - Static Dissipater

Lightning Master Static Dissipaters lower the exposure to a direct lightning strike by controlling the conditions which trigger direct strike (i.e. they reduce the build-up of static ground charge and retard the formation of the ion streamers which complete the path for a lightning strike).

The Dissipater employs the point-discharge principle to continually leak off the lightning causing ground potential in low amperages over a long period of time instead of the short duration, high amperage discharge occurring with a lightning strike.

This is the same technology from the same manufacturer which is successfully employed to protect commercial broadcast and television towers from direct lightning strikes. This lightweight (5.2 oz.) 21 long Dissipater mounts to the masthead and extends vertically above all other masthead equipment.

We do not claim that this product is 100% effective in preventing a lightning strike. At the present collective level of understanding of the lightning phenomenon, no one can make that claim. This product does control the causes of lightning strikes and thereby reduces the incidence of direct strikes.

The Forespar Performance Products Lightning Master Static Dissipater is designed to reduce the risk of damage caused by lightning strikes to your marine or outdoor equipment. Utilizing proven point-discharge technology, this device works by controlling static buildup and delaying the formation of ion streamers that typically lead to a strike. By continuously leaking off static charges, it helps lower the likelihood of a direct lightning hit, offering an extra layer of safety for your vessel or installation. The dissipater is lightweight, weighing just 0.32 pounds, and extends 21 inches vertically above masthead equipment, ensuring optimal placement for effective grounding. It mounts easily to the masthead, making installation straightforward and non-intrusive. While it cannot guarantee complete prevention of lightning strikes, the Forespar Lightning Master Static Dissipater effectively reduces the chances by managing the conditions that initiate lightning formation. This technology has been successfully employed in protecting commercial broadcast and television towers, demonstrating its reliability and effectiveness in high-risk environments. Designed to be durable and low-maintenance, it offers a practical solution for those seeking to mitigate lightning-related risks on boats or outdoor structures. Incorporating this dissipater into your lightning protection plan can help safeguard your equipment and enhance overall safety during storms or electrical activity.
