Ion Plasma Generator
The Ion Plasma Generator (IPG) is a high-efficiency strike collector for use on facilities where strike collection is more feasible than strike prevention. The IPG’s shape, diameter, number of points, and point spacing has been designed to optimize its ability to collect lightning strikes so they can be effectively sent to ground.

Benefits
- Over 99% effective lightning strike collection
- Removes the risk associated with conventional strike collectors (lightning rods)
- Highest attraction force of any air terminal (lightning rod)
- Strong stainless steel construction
- Easy to install

- Low wind profile
Technological Advantage
During a lightning storm traditional lightning rods and other air terminals fail to create a charge differential great enough to win the collection competition against other objects in the vicinity about 20% of the time. The Ion Plasma Generator or IPG reaches out and captures downward leaders, about 20 times the distance of traditional lightning rods.
