The new generation of isCon® conductors

Following a lightning strike, in order to prevent dangerous flashovers between conductive parts (electrical systems, pipelines, etc.), it is an important requirement to adhere to spark gap distances when planning and building a lightning protection system.

The new isCon® conductors of the types isCon® Basic, Professional, Professional+ and Premium comply with the required spark gaps of 45 to 90 cm (according to VDE 0185‐305‐3).

The isCon® conductor Professional+ has been designed especially for applications in explosive surroundings. Having standardised cross‐sections of 23 mm, the Professional+ conductors meet the requirements of VDE 0185‐ 561‐2 (IEC/EN 62561‐2) and can be mounted using all of the clamps and holders of the entire isCon® conductor range. Numerous lightning current tests to VDE 0185‐561‐1 (IEC/ EN 62561‐1) as well as to IEC TS 62561‐8 with up to 200 kA (10/350) ensure safe application in all lightning protection classes. An additional grey external sheath also ensures protection against dangerous touch voltages to VDE 0185‐305‐3 (IEC/ EN 62305‐3).

The high‐voltage‐resistant, insulated isCon® conductor is the modern solution for planners and constructors of lightning protection systems that conform to the required spark gaps.
