Before referring to any technology against electrical discharges we will make a brief summary of the formation of electric discharges and surges that lightning generates.
The lightning is produced by cumulonimbus clouds that have the capacity to store electric charge, this electric charge is attracted by geometric points on the ground or in other clouds by principle of electromagnetism, through the voltage increases by these charges of opposite sign, the electric field increases to extreme magnitudes and what is called dielectric breakdown occurs, practically the air becomes a conductor (air is naturally an electrical insulator) where this phenomenon occurs paths named ascending and descending tracers are generated, these tracers are the path of the charges coming from the cloud and of the charges on the ground, when these charges of opposite signs impact, the beginning of the lightning is generated, which turns out to be a destructive force that during it manifests there is a transfer of electrical charge in both directions.
CMCE technology uses the ground charges as a supply field through its ground system and charges from the atmosphere by electrical induction, once its associated capacitors are energized it works as a passive sensor system designed to balance and de-ionize at all times the effects of atmospheric phenomena through multiple compensators, generating a protective shield in its coverage area. Its operating principle is based on compensating, stabilizing the existing electric field in its environment, generating the conditions of factors so that no electric discharge is produced in the protection area, in this way it cancels the formation of the ascending tracer, neutralizing the lightning, draining the electrical charges to ground, in harmless milliamps.
Unlike the franklin lightning rods or the active lightning rods that attract the lightning, the function of the CMCE is to constantly balance the electric field of its surroundings without the formation of electric discharges in its protection area.
