Case Study of the Lightning Suppression Type Lightning Rod PDCE: "Protecting Sacred Trees from Lightning"
Introducing a pole for sacred trees, coated for UV protection, lightweight at about 11kg, and easy on the trees!
We would like to introduce the "Pole for Sacred Trees" designed to protect sacred trees from lightning strikes. The main body is a lightweight pole made of carbon fiber (CFRP), which maintains strength while the surrounding area is insulated with glass fiber (GFRP) to prevent electrical corrosion from contact with grounding wires. Thanks to the efforts of our partner companies, we have developed a pole that combines fiberglass and carbon fiber, making it possible to install a PDCE lightning rod above the sacred tree. 【Features】 ■ The tip of the pole is made of GFRP (glass fiber reinforced plastic) ■ Lightweight (7 poles at 14m) weighing approximately 11kg, minimizing the burden on the tree ■ Coated with UV-resistant paint (black) ■ The connection points of the two pipes are internally reinforced *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.
