A lightning conductor with early leader emission (Fr. PDA - Paratonnerre à Dispositif d'Amorçage) is the main element of the lightning protection system protecting a building against fire and damage resulting from lightning discharges. In stormy conditions, it generates ionization earlier than other elements of the protected building, thanks to which it directs the lightning current to itself. The GROMOSTAR lightning conductor ensures the preferred point of lightning strike, while protecting all elements in its protection radius.
The GROMOSTAR 60 lightning conductor is available in two material versions: stainless steel or copper.
