INGESCO - Model PDC.E - Lightning Rod
PDC.E lightning rod with electronic ESE system offers the most effective and safe protection before lightning. They have been designed to reduce the time of the electro-atmospheric discharge, to increase their capacity for lightning capture. When a storm cloud is near to produce a downward electrical discharge (lightning), the electric field increases. The electronic ESE system accumulates this electric potential and releases it as high-voltage impulses that ionize the air particles around the device. This process produces an upward streamer emission that attracts and captures lightning.
It is suitable for external lightning protection of all types of structures and open areas
- High level protection.
- 100% of efficacy in discharge capture.
- Maximum accepted current 200kA.
- It doesn’t need external power supply.
- Operation guaranteed in any atmospheric condition.
- An external structure made from stainless steel AISI 316 L.
- Authentication system using QR code.
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.
