For protecting e.g. ground-installed photovoltaic systems or carports with PV system on carports against direct lightning strike.
The air-termination rod is fixed e.g. at the metal support structure of the PV modules by two saddle clamps, which also provide a lightning current carrying capable contact.
A distance of 15-20 cm between the saddle clamps and the free length of 80-85 cm shall be provided. The air-termination rods are dimensioned according to Eurocode.
In case of correct mounting the mechanical stability and a lightning current carrying capability of 100 kA (10/350 µs) is provided.
The air-termination rod is adjustable to the inclination angle of the PV system. The standard design is angled to 55° which corresponds to a PV system inclination of 35°.
