\n\tLightning event counters<\/strong> are very useful tools in lightning protection installations, since they allow to find out easily if the installation has suffer a lightning strike and therefore if there is a need for a verification or extra maintenance beyond the periodical inspections according the provisions of the standard UNE 21186:2011.<\/p>\n

\n\tLightning event counters work by detecting the current impulse that lightning causes when passing through the down-conductor to the earthing. Generally, in an existing installation it is necessary to cut down the down-conductor and pass it through the counter. <\/p>\n

\n\tIn order to solve<\/strong> this possible situation, Aplicaciones Tecnológicas has developed a new model of lightning event counter, referenced as AT-034G<\/a>, which is provided with the same functionality, performance and features as its predecessor (AT-001G), but with the important advantage that it does not require to interrupt the down-conductor for its installation<\/strong>. This is thanks to its fixing metallic plate that embraces the down-conductor, which greatly facilitates its use in existing installations.<\/p>\n

\n\tAnother advantage is a more ergonomic design and its smaller size<\/strong> (156 x 66 x 61 mm), enabling its use in tight spaces<\/strong> such as inspection pits, inside self-standing masts, etc. Furthermore, the display screen has been placed in a way that makes it easy to read<\/strong> the numbers on, even if the counter is at a certain height.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe device is formed by two main parts: a supporting plate and the counter's box, which is made of injected polycarbonate specially treated to extend its life and improve its performance in open-air. The device is held in place just by four screws, so the down conductor stays between both elements.<\/p>\n

\n\tIn summary, if you wish to complete your existing installation with a lightning event counter but you have limited space or you are concerned about the visual impact of this element, AT-034G<\/a> is the model that best suits your purpose.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
