Along with the prohibition of radioactive lightning rods, these lightning rods have been replaced by E.S.E. (Active) Lightning Rods. E.S.E. (Active) Lightning Rods are two types:
|
|
1. Franklin France Lightning Rod with Electrostatic Active Piezoelectric Crystal
|
  The Franklin France lightning rod is superior in many ways. Piezoelectric crystals are made from some minerals that are found in nature. Consequently, they are not affected by lightning discharges and as a result they do not require maintenance. They have protection against both positive and negative lightning discharge. They can be tested in mounted or dismounted form. Its design has been realized by the Atomic Energy Organization of France and is patented from this institute. Its most important quality besides its 25 year operating and no rust guarantee is that it does not affected by rain and electric discharge at all. So that it does not breakdown due to these reasons. |

2. Electrostatic E.S.E. Active Lightning Rods:
|
Electrostatic Active Lightning Rods may be in different types and shapes. Different test reports have standards (ISO and the standards of its home country) and a guarantee of up to 25 years. They form an affective protection area against lightning. Besides various construction techniques, these types of lightning rods also have efficient protection areas.
