Dayton-Granger, Inc. introduces a new product to their lightning protection line. It’s called ULTRAGUARD. This new and improved lightning diverter strip consists of a series of rectangular
segments that produces a lower breakdown voltage than conventional diverter strips. The new elongated-rectangle design reduces the number of segments per given length. With fewer segments
per length, there are fewer air gaps to be ionized during a lightning strike. The segments are much smaller than the radar frequency wavelength and thus are transparent to aircraft radar.
ULTRAGUARD is transparent to RF energy up through approximately 40 GHz.

Typically, a 30-inch long diverter strip with round segments ionizes at approximately 40 to 60 kV. A30-inch long strip of ULTRAGUARD with the same voltage applied ionizes at under 20 kV. This lower voltage represents a substantial advantage in protection of aircraft radomes and the equipment located inside.

All Dayton-Granger diverter strips are custom fit to your specific aircraft and are manufactured in three colors: white, black, and grey. For more information please contact your local distributor or Dayton-Granger, Inc.
