LIGHTNING RODS

Product catalog summary
Specifications:
Lightning rods are available in diameters of Ø 16 mm or Ø 20 mm and heights ranging from 300 mm to 2000 mm. They are made of aluminium, with other dimensions and materials available upon consultation.
Description and Features:
  • Provides external protection of structures against lightning.
  • Part of the conventional protection system, including conductive mesh points and Faraday cages.
  • Characterized by simplicity, low cost, and easy installation.
  • Conductors are connected to form a conductive mesh or Faraday cages.
Product References:
Various models are available with different lengths and weights, all made of aluminium. For example, model AL300-16 is 300 mm long and weighs 170 g, while model AL3000-16 is 3000 mm long and weighs 1600 g.
Installation:
Direct assembly with an adapter head mast is required. The installation method depends on the protection level required and the design of the building or structure to be protected, as per IEC 62305-3 standards.
Standards:
  • IEC 62305-3: Establishes different methods for calculating the protection area, including the rolling sphere method and mesh method.
  • IEC 62561-1: Additional standards for installation and materials.
Protection Methods:
  • Rolling Sphere Method and Mesh Method: Maximum values for rolling sphere radius and mesh size vary by class of Lightning Protection System (LPS), with Class I having a radius of 20 m and mesh size of 5x5 m, and Class IV having a radius of 60 m and mesh size of 20x20 m.
  • Protection Angle: Not applicable beyond certain values, with specific notes on height and angle changes.
