Pre-Discharge Lightning Rod is an advanced lightning protection device developed on the Franklin rod principle and engineered in compliance with GB50057-94 and IEC 62305 standards. It is designed to safely intercept lightning strikes and discharge high voltage energy into the earthing system, protecting structures from electrical damage.

Constructed from high-grade stainless steel, the system offers excellent corrosion resistance, weatherproof performance, and long operational life. It covers wider areas compared to traditional Franklin rods. Its pre-ionization technology enhances strike capture efficiency by creating an early upward leader, improving the protection radius compared to conventional lightning rods. Available in single and multi-needle configurations, it is suitable for a wide range of structures, including buildings, telecom towers, and industrial facilities.

International Standard Compliance

  • GB50057-94 (China Lightning Protection Code)
  • IEC 62305 (Lightning Protection Standard)
  • ISO 9001 Quality Management Certified Manufacturing

Construction & Materials

  • Body: High-grade stainless steel structure
  • Needle System: Single or multi-point discharge needles
  • Base Assembly: Heavy-duty mounting base for structural stability
