Choke Coil and Lightning Diverter Combination Reviews

4.3 Rating 21 Reviews
Read Kencove Farm Fence, Inc Reviews

This design features a choke coil and a lightning arrestor combination which is the two essential components of an effective lightning diverter. The choke coil is slows the surge of electrical energy by inductive forces created in the coil. When lightning strikes, the pool of energy searching for the ground jumps the gap in the arrestor and finds the fastest route to the ground. The arrestor features an adjustable gap. To use it properly, set the gap to the smallest distance possible without the charger causing an arc in the gap by itself. To be effective the ground must be as good as the one on your charger. Install the lightning diverter as close as possible to your fence energizer.

I have purchased two of these now. Both of them have had the plastic insulators break where the screw goes in for adjustment. I was able to use a different screw that I modified and it seems to work fine. It could use a better system for securing and adjusting.

Excellent price and very heavy. Surprised at the quality for the price - also very heavy galvanized coating.

Fence chargers are too expensive not to protect. Excellent product at a very reasonable price.

I bought this thinking I would need it, but I don't think it is entirely necessary. I have a small vegetable garden, but I think this would be more suited to a large pasture or something. There is lightning anywhere, but I just didn't have enough space to get all the setbacks on my small lot. The product is sturdy, and should last well. I just didn't end up installing it. I may if we expand.

This diverter is made from quality steal with a thick galvanized coating that should keep it in good shape for years to come. The only complaint I have with it is when it was assembled in the factory, somebody stripped out one of the adjuster screw heads. Not really a big deal other than they are a short fat screw that was a little hard to find a replacement for around my farm. That said, I would definitely purchase again, nobody is perfect.

Great product, great service. Just wish you were closer to Cal. I would order all materials through you. As of now shipping cost is pricier than buying local for major fencing items. I will buy everything that is a better price, but only with free shipping. Thanks
