LIGHTNING SOLUTIONS INGESCO® PDC.E LIGHTNING ROD Lightning rod with electronic ESE (Early Streamer Emission) system, standardized according norms UNE 21.186 and NFC 17.102. Lightning rods provided with electronic ESE system offer the most effective and safe protection before lightning. They have been designed to reduce the time of the electro atmospheric discharge, in order to increase their capacity for lightning capture. When a storm cloud is near to produce a downward electrical discharge (lightning), an increase in the electric field takes place. The electronic ESE system accumulates this electric potential and afterwards releases it as high voltage impulses that ionise the air particles around the device. This process produces an upward streamer emission that attracts and captures lightning. The INGESCO® PDC.E put together two quality factors: 1.- It uses the latest generation electronic technology able to generate upward emissions in shorter times, so the protection for your equipments 2.- It is the result of R&D programmes in our Electro-technical Laboratory LABELEC and has been submitted to several tests (performance before artificial electric field). Because of that, INGESCO® PDC.E is the most reliable lightning rod of its class you can find currently in the market, able to offer an intelligent performance: its ESE system only works when there is a real risk of lightning impact, lowering the risk of unnecessary discharges. PROTECTION LEVELS CHARACTERISTICS & BENEFITS — 100% of efficacy in discharge capture. - High level of protection. - Electric continuity guaranteed. The device doesnt offer any resistance — Lightning rod with electronic device. - INGESCO® PDC.E preserves its initial properties after each discharge. — It doesn't need external power supply. - Operation guaranteed in any atmospheric condition. Protection radii calculated according to: Norm UNE 21.186 & NFC 17.102 (These radii of protection have been calculated according to an altitude difference of 20 m between the end of the lightning rods and the considered horizontal plane).

TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS The capture terminal of INGESCO® PDC.Efits 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 electro atmospheric condenser. — 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. The capture terminal of INGESCO® PDC.E should follow...
