Forespar Lightning Master - Static Dissipater

Protect your vessel from the unpredictable forces of nature with the Lightning Master™ Static Dissipater. Designed specifically for marine and boating environments, this essential device minimizes the risk of direct lightning strikes by managing the electrical conditions that attract lightning.

Key Features

• Advanced Static Control: Reduces the build-up of static ground charge, preventing the formation of ion streamers that can initiate a lightning strike.
• Point-Discharge Technology: Continuously dissipates ground potential at low amperages over extended periods, unlike traditional high-amperage lightning discharges.
• Proven Reliability: Utilizes technology trusted by the broadcast and television industry to safeguard commercial towers against lightning strikes.
• Lightweight and Compact: Weighs only 5.2 oz. and measures 21” in length, ensuring easy installation without adding significant weight to your masthead.
• Seamless Integration: Mounts securely to the masthead, extending vertically above all other equipment to maximize effectiveness.

How It Works

The Lightning Master™ Static Dissipater employs the principle of point discharge to manage and mitigate the electrical conditions that can lead to lightning strikes. By continuously leaking off ground potential at low amperages, it prevents the rapid, high-amperage build-up associated with direct lightning strikes. This proactive approach reduces the likelihood of a strike by controlling the environmental factors that attract lightning.

Installation and Usage

Installing the Lightning Master™ Static Dissipater is straightforward. Mount the device to the masthead of your vessel, ensuring it extends vertically above all other equipment. This placement maximizes its ability to control static charges and reduce the risk of lightning strikes. Regularly inspect the dissipater to ensure it remains securely mounted and free from debris or corrosion.

Important Information

While the Lightning Master™ Static Dissipater significantly reduces the risk of direct lightning strikes by managing the conditions that attract lightning, it does not guarantee 100% protection. Current understanding of lightning phenomena does not allow for absolute prevention. However, this device offers a reliable method to control the factors that increase the likelihood of a strike, enhancing the overall safety of your vessel.
