External protection against lightning by Early Streamer Emission Lightning Rod

"ELEXPERT is the guarantee of comprehensive and effective lightning risk management"

The Guarantee
Qualifoudre

In order to design and build its lightning protection installations using lightning conductors, Elexpert bases itself on the latest international and Moroccan standards in the field, notably the NM 06.1.050:2020 standard, equivalent to the NF C17-102:2011 standard.

Ear Streamer Streamer Emission Lightning Rod - PDA

The protection offered depends on the lead time, the location and the height in relation to the structure to be protected.

The lightning conductors with ignition device include a system of emission and generation of ions and electrons which allows to offer a wider protection area than all other types of solutions.

the insulated protection can also be realized by means of one or several lightning conductors with a triggering device (PDA) positioned on masts located near the area to be protected, or by using insulated high voltage conductors.

The Moroccan standard
NM 06.1.050:2020
(equivalent to the standard
NF C17-102 :2011
) defines the test method to evaluate the advance to initiation and, consequently, the protection radius offered by this type of lightning conductor

Advantages of PDA protection systems

  • Possibility of protecting several buildings with the same lightning conductor.
  • Protection of open areas
  • Can be integrated into the architecture of a building without changing its aesthetics.
  • Cost competitive solution
  • The lightning conductor can be installed outside a hazardous area (e.g. ATEX).
