The antenna static discharge protector is a device designed to protect antennas from static electricity discharges. It is commonly used in the telecommunications and broadcasting industries. The protector works by providing a low impedance path for the static electricity to safely discharge to the ground, thus preventing damage to the antenna and associated equipment. It typically consists of a spark gap and a grounding system. When a static discharge occurs, the spark gap ionizes and conducts the electricity to the ground, while the grounding system ensures a proper connection to the earth.
