Claim:
1. A variable electric field balancing device comprising conductive capture elements separated by an electrical insulator incorporated on a mast ( 6 ) with earth connection ( 7 ), wherein the variable electric field balancing device further comprises a hollow assembly comprising an upper passive capture element ( 2 ), which acts as a capture electrode, and a lower passive capture element ( 3 ), which acts as a reception electrode, and both elements ( 2 , 3 ) may have various geometric shapes on the outside, and an insulator element ( 4 ) arranged between said upper ( 2 ) and lower ( 3 ) elements maintaining them separated from each other at a variable distance (d) dependent on the conductivity coefficient of a set of materials said elements ( 2 and 3 ) are composed of, and a geometry of which, of the insulator element ( 4 ) is such that, in addition to internally separating the two elements, the insulator element externally covers the lower element ( 3 ) like a skirt to a lower base thereof, preventing the impact of a lightning bolt on said lower element ( 3 ) from being able to induce the generation of an upward leader, and it also has an expansion and compression valve ( 5 ) that connects an outer portion to an inner portion of the hollow assembly and which expands in phases of passage of current, absorption of external induced surges, or a combination thereof and is compressed at an end of a compensation of the variable electric field.
