LIGHTNING MARK ON THE GROUND
This image belongs to a lightning strike that occurred recently at a golf field. The imprint on the green has the same shape as the discharge from the cloud to the ground. Its length is around 6 meters.
APLIWELD® EXOTHERMIC WELDING IN A SUBSTATION
Substations are the main centres for power distribution to the population. Their earthing must have a low resistance and being long-lasting and therefore the use of exothermic welding is recommended.
DO I NEED A STORM DETECTOR? SOFTWARE FOR RISK CALCULATION ACCORDING TO EN 50536
After the publication of the standard EN 50536 about storm detection, the risk evaluation for preventive protection is necessary. Aplicaciones Tecnológicas, S.A. has developed a tool that makes this calculation according to the application guide of the standard.
CDRISK EXTENSION
Risk assessment according to lightning protection standards, both for ESE air terminals (NF-C 17102; UNE 21186/1M) and for Franklin rods and meshed conductors (IEC-EN 62305), requires a detailed knowledge of the structure to be protected. Therefore, the work of and expert is recommended.
