operation
The specific function of INGESCO PDC lightning rod is producing an upward stream of ionized particles pointed to clouds
that will channel the eventual electrical discharge from its origin.
There is a different potential between the discharger (that has the same potential than the air around it) and both the air
terminal tip and the deflection ensemble (they have the same potential than earth). This difference increases as atmospheric
potential becomes higher because of the imminent lightning stroke.
Knowing the value of this difference t allows us to relate time and velocity of electrical discharge spread and, consequently,
to calculate the lightning impact distance and the protection radium that offers each lightning rod model (see table below).
The knowledge of this value allows finally to select the most appropriate lightning rod model taking into account the characteristics of the structure we want to protect and the level of protection needed according the norms UNE 21.186:2011,
NFC 17.102:2011 and NP4426:2013.

characteristics & benefits

100% of efficacy in discharge capture.


High level of protection.
Electric continuity guaranteed. The device doesn't offer any resistance to discharge conduction.
Lightning rod without electrical components. Maxim durability guaranteed.
INGESCO PDC preserves its initial properties after each discharge.
Because it contains non electronic elements, there are no replaceable parts.
It doesn't need external power supply.
Operation guaranteed in any atmospheric condition.
Mantenance free

technical specifications
The capture terminal of INGESCO PDC fits the following technical specifications:
It has a double ESE (Early Streamer Emission) system:
An early streamer device that produces the upward emission.
An electro atmospheric condenser.
An atmospheric accelerator.
An insulation system certified by the General Testing & Research Laboratory of the Generalitat of Catalunya (LGAI).
An external structure made from stainless steel AISI 316L.
Early Streamer Emission system made from stainless steel AISI 316L and polyamide PA66. Its effective operation in any
atmospheric condition and environment is thus guaranteed.

installation
The capture terminal of INGESCO PDC should follow the prescriptions of the norms NFC 17.102:2011 (or Norm UNE
21.186:2011) and EN 62.305:2011, and should take into account the following:
The tip of the lightning rod should be situated, at least two meters above the highest building to be protected.
For its installation on a mast, the corresponding head-mast adapter is needed for the lightning rod.
The cabling on the roofs should be screened protected against surges and connect to ground the metallic structures
present within the safety zone.
The lightning rod should be connected to a grounding point by way of one or various conducting cables which will go
down, whenever possible, the exterior of the construction with the shortest and straight possible trajectory.
The earth termination systems, whose resistance should be the lowest possible (less than 10 ohms), should guarantee
the most rapid possible dispersion of the lightning current discharge.
