CMCE LIGHTNING SUPPRESSOR
HOW IT WORKS
The CMCE Lightning Suppressor is a Variable Electromagnetic Field Balancer (VEB). Designed using Nikola Tesla patent technology, the CMCE uses a process called deionization to drain the atmosphere of the excess positive and negative ionic charges that build up during a thunderstorm. Once absorbed into the device, the CMCE internally rearranges the charges, turns them into harmless milliamperes, and grounds them through a ground wire. This process eliminates upward streamers by balancing the electrical field, preventing lightning strike formation within the CMCE coverage area.

LIGHTNING RODS
- ATTRACTS lightning strikes
- Does NOT always effectively ground electrical charges
- Often CAUSES electrical surges, fires, maintenance, and costly repairs
- ONLY protects structures
- Does NOT protect outdoor areas
- Requires MULTIPLE rods and wiring for large structures
ELECTRICAL VOLTAGE TEST
The electrical voltage of a lightning rod was laboratory tested by The Technical Institute of Energy, utilizing a pointed lightning generator placed 38 cm. above the tip of the rod and the voltage produced a fire. Subsequently, the CMCE Lightning Suppressor was tested with the same pointed lightning generator, applying the maximum amount of voltage at 140,000 volts. A fire never occurs during the CMCE test, however, there is an observation of small streams of electrical current passing through the CMCE to the grounding wire, validating efficacy compared to the traditional Franklin Lightning Rod.
INSTALLATIONS
BUILDINGS
The CMCE must be installed at least 3-6 feet above the highest point of a structure, using a 1.5” aluminum or galvanized steel pipe. The mast can be mounted to the roof, the side of the structure, a tree, or a flagpole. In some cases, when center roof installations are required, a tripod or roof bracket can be used. The CMCE device must be grounded to an existing or new Delta ground system using a 1/0 copper wire with a ground resistance of less than 5 ohms. A new grounding system can be created to reach the desired level of resistance.
VESSELS
The CMCE should be installed at the highest point, exceeding at least 1 foot above any existing equipment or antennas. VHF can be wrapped in heat shrink and the CMCE installed at the highest point, below VHF. The CMCE’s support mast of 1.5” galvanized steel should be mounted to a pole that is attached to mast. A single, straight ground wire run is optimal, using 4 AWG. Grounded to the vessel’s busbar, anodes, or a grounding plate.
INSTALLATION PARTNERSHIPS
PROTECTION FOR ALL APPLICATIONS
With six different CMCE models to choose from, structures, outdoor areas, and boats of all sizes can easily be protected from the dangers of lightning strikes. All different types of applications, such as golf courses, apartment buildings, wind turbines, sports stadiums, telecommunication towers, wastewater plants, marinas, and more - whatever you need to protect from strikes.
