LIGHTNING PROTECTION METHOD AND DEVICE FOR ITS IMPLEMENTATION Russian patent published in 2012 - IPC H02G3/22 H05F3/02 

FIELD: electricity.

SUBSTANCE: one draws incoming current charges into the lightning interceptor and retains them there; the lightning interceptor is connected (via a current tap) to the central vertical electrode of the grounding conductor that diffusely irradiates currents through V-shaped electrode tips; then one proceeds with induction and uniform spread of charges on the inner and outer surfaces of the lightning interceptor shell; the lightning interception rod is designed in the shape of a sphere, cope or cone around which a volume charge of the electric field (counteracting the identical polarity downward leader stroke from the above) is generated that creates a repulsive force changing the leader stroke direction towards the lightning discharger trap located outside the area being protected that initiates an upward charge flow. The top of the grounding conductor is shaped as a cope while the bottom is buried into metal grid. The central electrode is connected to the other vertical and horizontal electrodes having V-shaped tips. The external vertical electrodes are connected to buses forming the circuit of the area being protected.

EFFECT: improving protection reliability and efficiency.
