Lab and Field-Proven Protection: The CMCE’s Unmatched Effectiveness

Lab and Field-Proven Protection: The CMCE’s Unmatched Effectiveness 

For over two decades, the CMCE Lightning Suppressor has stood out as the most advanced lightning protection system on the market, with over 10,000 satisfied customers worldwide. Unlike traditional lightning rods that attract and attempt to redirect strikes, the CMCE device prevents lightning formation entirely. Its effectiveness has been rigorously verified through both laboratory and real-world testing, ensuring unparalleled safety for structures, boats, and outdoor spaces of all sizes. 


Lab-Tested Results 


The CMCE Lightning Suppressor has undergone rigorous testing to validate its revolutionary effectiveness. In a controlled laboratory setting, the CMCE was subjected to electrical charges as high as 140,000 volts — a level that simulates extreme conditions. The CMCE successfully absorbed and grounded these massive charges without producing a fire.

 

In contrast, a traditional lightning rod was tested under similar conditions with 72,000 volts. Despite handling significantly lower voltage, the lightning rod failed to mitigate the energy safely, resulting in a fire. This critical distinction demonstrates the CMCE’s superior ability to neutralize electrical charges proactively, ensuring safety without compromise.

Proven Real-World Performance

 

Beyond the lab, the CMCE Lightning Suppressor has protected thousands of properties and boats around the globe for more than 20 years. With zero reported lightning strikes on any properly maintained CMCE-protected property, its reliability is unmatched. From residential homes and industrial facilities to communication towers and superyachts, the CMCE consistently delivers peace of mind to its users. 


CMCE vs. Traditional Lightning Rods 


Traditional lightning rods, though widely used, operate on a reactive principle — they attract and attempt to channel the immense energy of a lightning strike to the ground. While sometimes effective in redirecting strikes, this approach is not without risks:

 

  • Potential Fire Hazards: The intense heat generated during the channeling process can ignite nearby materials, causing structural damage, costly repairs, and system maintenance. 
  • Limited Protection & Scope: Lightning rods only protect a small area, which is why multiple rods and connector wires are required for larger structures. 

 

The CMCE Lightning Suppressor, by contrast, employs a proactive strategy: it dissipates electrical charges in the atmosphere, preventing the conditions for a lightning strike altogether. This innovation eliminates the risks of fire and ensures a broader protection radius per device.  

 

When it comes to lightning protection, the choice is clear. The CMCE is the ultimate choice for those seeking the highest level of protection against lightning strikes.
