Protect Critical Operations with CMCE-120 UL: Advanced, UL-Certified Lightning Suppression 

When industrial and commercial facilities require lightning protection that meets the most stringent safety and compliance standards, the CMCE-120 UL Lightning Suppressor delivers proven performance with certified reliability. Designed specifically for applications where UL certification is mandatory, this advanced lightning suppression system provides large-area protection while meeting the expectations of engineers, insurers, and regulatory authorities.


Meets UL Certification Standards


The CMCE-120 UL Lightning Suppressor is fully UL-certified, making it an ideal solution for facilities that must comply with UL requirements as part of their design, insurance, or regulatory obligations. For many industrial environments—such as manufacturing plants, energy facilities, logistics centers, water treatment plants, and critical infrastructure—UL certification is not optional. It is essential. 


This certification provides confidence that the CMCE-120 UL has been independently evaluated and verified to meet recognized safety and performance standards for lightning protection systems. 


Engineered for Industrial Environments 


Industrial facilities present unique challenges: large footprints, valuable equipment, continuous operations, and high financial exposure in the event of lightning-related damage or downtime. The CMCE-120 UL Lightning Suppressor is engineered to address these challenges directly.


  • Coverage Area: Protects 500,000 square feet total with one model. 
  • Application Type: Ideal for large industrial facilities, commercial, and critical infrastructure sites. 
  • Protection Objective: Eliminate lightning strike formation over the protected area, helping to safeguard structures, equipment, and operations. 


By protecting such a large area, the CMCE-120 UL minimizes the number of devices required, simplifying system design and reducing overall installation complexity.


All-Stainless-Steel Construction 


Durability is critical in industrial settings. The CMCE-120 UL Lightning Suppressor is constructed entirely of stainless steel, offering long-term resistance to corrosion, harsh weather conditions, and demanding environmental exposure. 


This robust construction makes the system well-suited for: 


  • Coastal and high-humidity environments 
  • Industrial sites with corrosive atmospheres 
  • Facilities requiring long service life with minimal maintenance 


Stainless steel construction also ensures the system maintains its structural integrity and performance over time, supporting long-term asset protection. 


A Smart Choice for Compliance-Driven Projects 


For projects where UL compliance, reliability, and large-area coverage are non-negotiable, the CMCE-120 UL stands out as a practical and forward-thinking solution. Its combination of certified performance, industrial-grade materials, and expansive coverage makes it a strong fit for engineers, facility managers, and developers seeking dependable lightning suppression technology. 


Protect Critical Operations with Confidence 


Lightning events can result in costly equipment damage, operational downtime, and safety risks. The CMCE-120 UL Lightning Suppressor offers a UL-certified solution designed to meet industrial standards while delivering wide-area protection and long-term durability. 


For industrial facilities that demand compliance, performance, and peace of mind, the CMCE-120 UL sets a higher standard for lightning protection.
