Will your air terminal attract lightning to my location?

No, this is a common misconception regarding enhanced air terminals. The fact is that even passive structures have a “collection area” for lightning. As an example, the collection area of LPI’s Stormaster ESE ensures that lightning is captured over the design protection area to a desired point, from which the discharge can be safely dissipated into the ground. This is a fundamental principle backed by standards. LPI air terminals comply with various international standards, including NF C 17-102, IEEE 998 and IEC 62561.
