Why high rises are susceptible

to taking lightning strikes


Height & Exposure
High-rise buildings extend into zones where electrical activity is more concentrated.

Rooftop Equipment
Mechanical systems, antennas, and electrical components create additional exposure points.

Coastal & Storm-Prone Locations
Many high-rises are located in regions with frequent storm activity.

Interconnected Systems
Modern buildings rely on sensitive electrical and automated systems that are vulnerable to disruption.

The CMCE Lightning Suppressor creates a dome of lightning-free protection. The CMCE-120 model creates a 360' radius of lightning-free protection. Imagine an 800' dome of camouflaged protection surrounding a high rise, including the outdoor areas. The CMCE constantly drains the atmosphere of the ionic charge that forms lightning strikes. During a thunderstorm, electrical energy builds in clouds and seeks to connect with ground charges, that are naturally coming off of high rise buildings. The CMCE drains the surrounding atmosphere of the energy coming off of the high rise. Based on a Nikola Tesla concept, lab and field tested at 99.8% effective at eliminating lightning strike formation.

Advanced LIGHTNING Protection That Prevents Lightning Strikes:

The CMCE Lightning Suppressor

DESIGNED FOR HIGH RISES

CMCE technology balances the electrical conditions that lead to lightning formation, reducing strike risk before it occurs. Unlike conventional rods that attract lightning, CMCE creates a protective zone by neutralizing charge buildup, safeguarding structures and assets proactively. Long gone are the days of antennas and interconnected wire. Installed 6' above the highest point. Typically installed to the side wall of the mechanical room or elevator shaft. Less materials. Less maintenance. Enhanced protection. Superior technology.
