Franklin-type lightning rods protect wind turbines against direct lightning strikes. But complete lightning protection in accordance with IEC 61024-1 only comes through the use of a custom built lightning current arrester such as LEC’s manufactured and patented IPG (Ion Plasma Generator). In competition with a turbine blade, the IPG provides a successful counter leader to distances over 20 times that of the best competition.
