LIGHTNING ROD + SUPPORT SET

Product catalog summary
Applications
External protection of lightning protection systems (LPS) is provided by the lightning rod and support set. It is suitable for all types of structures, either as a standalone system or as part of conductive mesh and Faraday cage systems. The dimensions are approved for use in electrical substations.
Characteristics & Benefits
The system offers easy installation without the need for masts or anchors and provides high resistance.
Operation
During a storm, an electro-atmospheric field forms between the cloud and ground. Around the Franklin tip, natural ionization occurs, initiating the formation of a conducting channel that facilitates lightning discharge.
Technical Specifications
The assembly includes specially sized lightning rod tips with 1m and 2m high flat base support. The main tip is 500 mm long with four auxiliary tips. The base is made of copper-plated or galvanized steel, and the tips are made of copper. Three references are provided with varying dimensions and weights.
Regulations and Tests
The system complies with IEC 62.305-3 regulations.
Installation
Installation methods include the protection angle method and the rolling sphere and mesh method. The table provides maximum values for rolling sphere radius and mesh size for each class of LPS. Installation is suitable for porches, decks, or flat roofs, with the base attached to the structure using Ø18 mm screws. The IEC 62305-3 standard outlines methods for calculating the area of protection based on the structure and required protection level.

LIGHTNING ROD + SUPPORT SET-1

► applications 0INGESCO LIGHTNING SOLUTIONS ►► LIGHTNING ROD + SUPPORT SET Assembly consisting of (specially sized) lightning rod tips with 1m. and 2 m. high flat base support. • Main tip: 500 mm L and 4 auxiliary tips. • Base made of copper-plated or a galvanized steel. • Tips made of copper. External protection of LPS (lightning protection systems). Installation is indicated for external protection of all types of structures, either as single collection system, or as a component of conductive mesh and Faraday cage systems. Dimensions approved for use in electrical substations. ► operation During the formation of the storm, an electro-atmospheric field is generated between cloud and ground. Around the Franklin tip, a natural ionization (corona) occurs, resulting from the energy transfer. This phenomenon is the beginning of excitation to draw a conducting channel which will facilitate the lightning discharge. ► characteristics & benefits ■ Easy installation. ■ No need to install mast or anchors. ► technical specifications Description Ref.

Installation on porches, decks or flat roofs. Attach base to structure with (018 mm.) screws. Depending on the structure to be protected and the level of protection required, IEC 62305-3 establishes the following methods for calculating the area of protection: note 1. Not applicable for values above those marked with . In these cases • only the rolling sphere and mesh methods apply. note 2. h (m) is the sensor height above the reference plane of the area to be protected. note 3. The protection angle does not vary for values below 2 m h. b) Rolling sphere and mesh method: SCPR Class Rolling sphere...
