          HOW IT WORKS 
          The specific purpose of the INGESCO   lightning rod is to produce ionization directed at the cloud, so that any   possible electrical discharge can be 
channelled from the very beginning.   Between the exciter set, which has the same potential as the surrounding air,   and on the other hand, the point and the deflector set, which are both at earth   potential, a potential difference is stablished. This potential difference will   be greater, the higher the atmospheric potential gradient is, and consequently,   when the lightning formation is most likely.
PROTECTION LEVELS 
UNE 21186 and NF C-17 102 standards   provide an evaluating method, as a result of several studies of lightning   protection systems. It compares the early streamer time ( t) induced by an   INGESCO ESE lightning rod, to a simple Franklin type lightning rod in the same   environmental and placement test conditions. 
A relationship between time,   propagation speed and, in consequence, the stroke distance and the protection   zone,is obtained in determining the value. 
The evaluation of the risk of   being struck and the structure is protection needs is obtaining following the   Appendix B of the standards mentioned above.
