Description
Galvanized Steel Lightning Rod Elevating Mast – Second Element:
The second lightning rod lifting mast element is made of galvanized steel. It has a length of 2.00 meters and an outside diameter of 42 mm. This mast is specially designed to fit the first element mast for the elevation of the ESE Ellips® and Paraton@ir® Early Streamer Emission (ESE) Lightning Rods.
Facility:
Its installation is easy and safe for raising a lightning rod to approximately 3.8 meters (for example, on a house). Longitudinal clamping screws are used to secure the first and second mast sections. Furthermore, this mast can be assembled with a third section to achieve a total height of 5.7 meters (for example, on a hospital, factory, or building). Finally, we also offer a stainless steel version, ideal for environments prone to corrosion.
Elevation of the Lightning Rod – Gain in Protection Radius:
Thus, to further increase the height, we add a third mast element to peak at 5.7 meters. Therefore, the modularity of this set offers precise adaptability to the needs of obtaining a greater Radius of Protection with a Protection Level constant.

Stable and strong, our lightning rod elevation mast generally does not require a guying kit when used with our lightning rods.
Benefits:
Thus, the lightning rod elevation mast plays several key roles in lightning protection. It expands the protection zone by raising the lightning rod above the buildings. Consequently, the radius of lightning protection coverage is effectively increased.
This optimized positioning allows more strategic interception of electrical discharges. This provides better protection. The lightning rod captures and channels the direct impacts of lightning and its energy away from vulnerable areas. It thus protects the underlying structure.
To know:
In addition to its functionality, the design of the lightning rod elevation mast has been carefully studied. Indeed, its aesthetic is designed to harmonize with the surrounding architecture, combining protection and style. (House, Historic Building, Hospital, Building, Factory, etc.)
Thanks to its composition, this mast is a "natural conductor". (IEC 62305 and NFC 17-102:2011 standards).
Finally, for even further integration, the mast can be painted. Thus, it offers customization according to the preferences or architectural requirements of the project.
