Air Gap Lightning Arrester | 4 Flash Spikes | 200mm Ball | 20m Protection Radius | Passive Technology

LOCALIZED LIGHTNING PROTECTION

High-Efficiency Air Gap Lightning Protection

TEKSAI TEK1000 is a high-efficiency Air Gap Lightning Arrester designed for localized lightning protection in residential and small-scale infrastructure. Built with a pure copper rod and a heavy-duty brass ball hot-dip coated with 250 microns of pure copper.

The arrester features 4 precision-engineered flash spikes that enhance lightning capture across a 20-meter protection radius. Its Air Gap Technology ensures safe and passive discharge of lightning surges into the ground without direct electrical connection to the protected system.

Air Gap Technology Explained

Advanced spark-gap principle ensuring safe lightning discharge without electrical connection to protected systems

How Air Gap Technology Works:

1

Lightning Attraction

Four precision-engineered flash spikes attract and capture lightning strikes from multiple directions within a 20-meter radius.

2

Spark Gap Activation

Physical air gap creates a controlled discharge path when lightning voltage exceeds the breakdown threshold, typically around 3kV per mm.

3

Safe Earth Discharge

Lightning energy is safely channeled to earth through the pure copper rod and earthing system, bypassing protected structures.

4

Arc Isolation

Air gap ensures no direct electrical connection, preventing voltage backflow or surge damage to sensitive equipment.

Benefits of Air Gap Technology

Passive Operation

No electronics or power required - purely mechanical operation

Arc-Isolated Discharge

Reduces surge intrusion risk to protected equipment

Maintenance-Free

Safe for sensitive environments with zero maintenance requirements

Weather Resistant

Ideal for basic and moderate-risk installations in all climates
