Air termination system

<\/div>

<\/span><\/div><\/div>
<\/div>
<\/p>\n

The lightning air terminal is an essential piece of the lightning protection system. It must be the point of controlled impact of a discharge, so as to provide the lightning current with a path to ground without damaging the protected structure.<\/p>\n

ESE Air Terminals are characterized by emitting a continuous upward leader before any other object within their protection radius. The DAT CONTROLER\u00ae<\/sup> line from Aplicaciones Tecnol\u00f3gicas DAT Controler Plus and DAT Controler Remote) have passed all tests according to the regulations and have the best operational guarantees. In fact, Aplicaciones Tecnol\u00f3gicas S.A.’s DAT CONTROLER\u00ae<\/sup> lightning rods are the only ones in the world<\/strong> with the strick N certification from AENOR<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Protection by Franklin rods and meshed conductors consists in distributing and dissipating the discharge current of lightning through a network of down conductors and earthing systems. The installation, sections and materials must comply with the provisions of the standards that define this type of system (series IEC 62305, IEC 62561).<\/p>\n

Spark gap for aerial mast<\/h3><\/div>
Aerials are particularly exposed to lightning strikes and their consequences. The lightning protection system must protect the aerial against direct impact, however part of the lightning current could side-strike it and follow an uncontrolled path to earth. Even if it is only part of the lightning current, the damage caused could be very significant. The AT-060F protector is connected to the aerial mast in order to ensure an equipotential bond between metal elements, thereby preventing dangerous sparks between the lightning protection system and the aerial mast, which could result in fire and damage to the structure.<\/div> <\/div> <\/div> <\/a><\/div> [\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner]<\/div><\/div>\n\n\t\t\t<\/div>[\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/2″ el_class=”col-nospace”]
