Product catalog summary
Protection Area Calculation: The protection area (RP) of the PREVECTRON 3® lightning conductor is calculated according to the French Standard NF C 17-102: 2011. The formula varies based on the height (h) of the ESEAT tip, with specific calculations for heights greater than or equal to 5m and between 2m and 5m. The protection area depends on factors such as the height of the ESEAT tip, the protection level (r), and the efficiency obtained during ESEAT evaluation tests.
Protection Radius and Levels: The document provides detailed tables showing the protection radius for different heights and triggering times (T) across four protection levels (I to IV), with corresponding radii (r) of 20m, 30m, 45m, and 60m.
Real Lightning Condition Test Campaigns: Since 1993, INDELEC has conducted extensive in-situ test campaigns in various global locations to assess the performance of lightning conductors under real conditions. These tests have confirmed the advanced performance, robust design, and reliability of the PREVECTRON® system.
Innovations and Sustainability: The PREVECTRON 3® integrates sustainable development requirements, being 100% made in France with a reduced weight and increased lifetime. It has been awarded for its eco-design and innovation.
OptiMax® Technology: The PREVECTRON 3® features the patented OptiMax® technology, which enhances lightning protection by neutralizing space charges and ensuring reliable upward streamer development. This technology reduces standard deviations in high voltage laboratory tests, improving performance and reliability.
Modular Design and Maintenance: The PREVECTRON 3® is the first modular lightning rod, allowing for easy maintenance and replacement of damaged modules. It can be tested on-site with the INDELEC Tester, ensuring operational capabilities throughout its installation period.
Standard Compliance and Certifications: The PREVECTRON 3® complies with international and French standards, including NF C 17-102: 2011 and UNE 21-186: 2011. It has undergone extensive testing and holds multiple certifications, including UL, CE marking, and Russian RTN certification, making it the world's most accredited ESE lightning conductor.

PREVECTRON 3 BROCHURE-1

PROTECTION AREA THE PROTECTION AREA (RP) OF A PREVECTRON 3® LIGHTNING CONDUCTOR IS CALCULATED ACCORDING TO FRENCH STANDARD NF C 17-102 : 2011, THUS : Since 1993 INDELEC has conducted unrivaled in-situ test campaigns, allowing its engineers to assess the lightning conductors in real lightning conditions. These test campaigns were originally developed in close cooperation with a team of engineers from the Atomic Energy Commission (C.E.A.), Universities, Research Centers and private partners. These test campaigns provide a wealth of experience in the field of lightning phenomena. The protection area depends on a number of factors : • h(m) : is the height of the ESEAT tip over the horizontal plane through the furthest point of the object/area to be protected. • r(m) : 20 m, 30m, 45m or 60m according to the Protection Level I, II, III or IV assessed for the site using the Risk Analysis calculation (NF C 17-102 : 2011 Annex A). In order to gather as much data as possible, the tests were performed in America, Europe and Asia, with each location providing very different lightning conditions. In 2015, INDELEC inaugurated the new International Lightning Research Center of Jatiluhur – Indonesia. Test campaigns have provided invaluable data to the Lightning Innovation and Research Institute LiRi engineering team, including : • Δ (m) : Δ = Δ T x 106. Field experience has proved that is equal to the efficiency obtained during the ESEAT evaluation tests. • Advanced performance of the PREVECTRON® through measuring and comparing electrical activity at the tips of various lightning rods. • Operation of the PREVECTRON® triggering system. • Confirmation of the PREVECTRON® robust design by exposing it to repeated discharges. • Total reliability provided by the PREVECTRON® in a wide range of situations, encompassing all types of lightning conditions, including upward & downward lightning strikes and tropical & winter storms. • Release of a number of scientific reports in relation to this research. PROTECTION RADIUS PROTECTION LEVEL I : r = 20M REAL LIGHTNING CONDITION TEST CAMPAIGNS The PREVECTRON 3® has fully benefited from unique experiences during its development process. Numerous engineering innovations have been totally validated in real lightning conditions. PROTECTION LEVEL III : r = 45 M Diameter (body) Diameter (Maxi) EARLY STREAMER EMISSION LIGHTNING CONDUCTOR FOR OPTIMUM LIGHTNING PROTECTION PERFORMANCE From the early stages of the PREVECTRON 3® development, INDELEC has integrated sustainable development requirements: 100% made in France, reduced weight, increased lifetime, modular design…. Thanks to its “In Planet” label, the new PREVECTRON 3® lightning conductor has been awarded the Prize of Excellence by the AvniR Adjudication Team, promoting the eco-design expertise and innovation within businesses.
