Early streamer emission lightning rod INGESCO® PDC 6.4

stainless steel

LIGHTNING ROD WITH ESE (EARLY STREAMER EMISSION) SYSTEM It is suitable for external lightning protection of all types of structures and open areas • High level of protection. • 100% of efficacy in discharge capture. • INGESCO® PDC preserves its initial properties after each discharge. • Electric continuity guaranteed. The device doesn't offer any resistance to discharge conduction. • Maximum accepted current 200kA. • Lightning rod without electrical components. Maxim durability guaranteed. • Because it contains non electronic elements, there are no replaceable parts. • It doesn't need external power supply. • Operation guaranteed in any atmospheric condition. • High resistance to temperature. Maximum temperature: 125ºC. • High resistance to wheather conditions and corrosive atmospheres. • Maintenance free. • Authentication system using QR code. The specific function of INGESCO® PDC lightning rod with ESE is producing an upward stream of ionized particles that will channel the eventual electrical discharge from its origin. There is a difference in the electrical potential between the discharger (that has the same potential as the air around it) and both the air terminal tip and the deflection ensemble (they have the same potential as Earth). This difference increases as atmospheric potential becomes higher because of the imminent lightning strike. Knowing the value of this difference Δt allows us to make a relation between the time and propagation speed of the electrical discharge, and, consequently, to calculate the lightning impact distance and the protection radium that offers each lightning rod model
