Price analysis of type structure lightning protections, purchase cost comparison in reference to the classic lightning rod and the active WAT Franklinplus lightning conductor. Select a suitable structure type.
The mentioned price analysis is intended as informative only; each of the cost accounts is to be solved individually according to disposals of building structures. All the prices are quoted without VAT.
| Protected zone | |
|---|---|
| Classic lightning conductor | only a structure itself + minimal adjacent area |
| Active lightning conductor | a structure itself + outdoor areas according to a project |
| Security | |
|---|---|
| Classic lightning conductor | a building part, electric installation and electronic equipment without over-voltage protection with efficiency of about 45 % |
| Active lightning conductor | structure + adjacent areas in range of efficiency at least 98 % |
| Operating life | |
|---|---|
| Classic lightning conductor | material FeZn – operating life of 20 years, Cu – operating life at least 50 years |
| Active lightning conductor | material Cu and stainless steel – operating life at least 50 years |
| Revisions and repairs | |
|---|---|
| Classic lightning conductor | at least 1× in 5 years; cost of about 50 CZK/running meter (overhead line) |
| Active lightning conductor | 1× in 2–3 years; unitary 2,000–5,000 CZK per one equipment |

Potentially explosive atmosphere environment
There is always an individual calculation necessary. Costs of the active lightning conductor system are smaller than about 40 % cost of classic lightning conductors. Advantages in reference to the classic lightning conductor consist in safety separation of funk induction from centers of the potentially explosive atmosphere environment.
Currently, the only documented installation in the world more than 5 million units (2009).
Protected zones
Rp: It is a radius of protection coverage on horizontal level situated in vertical distance h from the gripper tip [m]
h: It is a gripper tip height above a protected structure (protected structures) [m]
