characteristics & benefits
100% of efficacy in discharge capture.
High level protection.
Electric continuity guaranteed. The device doesnt offer any resistance to discharge conduction.
Lightning rod with electronic device.
INGESCO PDC.E preserves its initial properties after each discharge.
It doesnt need external power supply.
Operation guaranteed in any atmospheric condition.
The capture terminal of INGESCO PDC.E, fits the following technical specifications:
It has an electronic ESE (Early Streamer Emission) system:
A capacitive generator of an upward emission.
A capacitive circuit to store electric charges.
An insulation system made with resin (certified for high voltage devices protection).
An external structure made from stainless steel AISI 316 L.
Its effective operation in any atmospheric condition and environment is thus guaranteed.
installation
The capture terminal of INGESCO PDC.E should follow the prescriptions of the norms UNE 21.186:2011,
NFC17-102:2011, NP4426:2013 y IEC62.305, and should take into account the following:
The point of the lightning rod should be situated, at least 2 m. above the highest building to be protected.
For its installation on a mast, the corresponding head-mast adapter is needed for the lightning rod.
The cabling of the covers should be protected against surges and connect to ground the metallic structures present within the safety zone.
The lightning rod should be connected to a grounding point by way of two or various conducting cables which will go down,
whenever possible, the exterior of the construction with the shortest and straight possible trajectory.
The hearth termination systems, whose resistance are not surpass 10 ohms, should guarantee the most rapid possible
dispersion of the lightning current discharge.
