Choke Coil and Lightning Diverter Combination

Lightning Choke Coil and Arrestor Combination
This design in lightning protection combines the two essential components of a lightning diverter. The choke coil is used to slow the surge of electrical energy by inductive forces created in the coil. At this point the arrestor comes into play. The pool of energy searching for the ground jumps the gap in the arrestor and finds the fastest route to the ground. This units arrestor features an adjustable gap. To use it properly set the gap to the smallest distance possible without the charger causing an arc in the gap by itself. To be effective the ground must be as good as the one on your charger. As always try to keep the unit as close as possible to the charger.
