Protection Radius: The protection radius (in meters) depends on the model's efficiency, the height of installation, and the lightning protection level (I to IV) according to standards like NFC 17-102.
Standards and Certifications: Products often comply with international standards such as UNE-EN 62561, NF C 17-102, and carry certifications like the CE mark visible on the product in the image.
