ABSTRACT:
This apparatus is a device that connects to electrical or electronic equipment that is to be protected from lightning. The device detects amplitude modulation radio frequency signals (electrostatic energy) emitted from an electrial storm, lightning, by a detector (2) which sends energy to signal a trigger relay (4) to activate an interval timer (6) and one of four alternate relay systems to disconnect the device and the equipment sought to be protected from a power source, antenna or other equipment. The device then provides power from a battery (16), thereby isolating the equipment sought to be protected from lightning damage for a predetermined interval of time. When the threat of lightnng damage has past, the device automatically reconnects and restores the device and the electrical or electronic equipment to the original power source.
