How effective is the Collection Volume Method (CVM) at intercepting lightning strikes? To answer this question, ERICO commissioned an unprecedented field-validation study.
The study underscores the importance of air terminal placement and validates the CVM’s claimed interception efficiency levels. The infographic below highlights key findings. To learn more, download the full whitepaper here.
