Introduction to Indelec (Easily Strike Lightning) Early Streamer Emission Lightning Rod

French Indelec boasts over 40 years of extensive experience in lightning protection device production and engineering, supported by a strong team of engineers from France's most renowned universities and research institutions. This expertise has established INDELEC ("Easily Strike Lightning") lightning protection devices as specialists in the field. With decades of unstoppable success both in France and worldwide, INDELEC (Easily Strike Lightning) is now fully launching its latest research achievement: the PREVECTRON (Second Generation) Lightning Rod (hereinafter referred to as PREVECTRON 2).

How the INDELEC (Easily Strike Lightning) Early Streamer Emission Lightning Rod Works

When a thunderstorm approaches, the energy generated is immense (reaching thousands of volts per meter). The air terminal of the PREVECTRON 2 early streamer emission lightning rod absorbs energy from the natural electric field, while the lower energy collection electrode stores this electrical energy in the lightning protection device's triggering mechanism. Just before a lightning strike occurs, the field intensity rapidly increases. When the stored energy reaches a certain level, the air terminal sends a signal to the triggering device, generating a spark at the tip of the air terminal. This ionizes the surrounding air, creating a corona discharge phenomenon.

Principle of the INDELEC (Easily Strike Lightning) Early Streamer Emission Lightning Rod

The ionization at the tip of the air terminal can be characterized as follows: Controlled ion release: The triggering device of the PREVECTRON 2 early streamer emission lightning protection device allows ions to discharge in an extremely short time. The high accuracy of the triggering system means ions are released at a precise moment, specifically just before the main lightning strike occurs. Triggering of the CORONA effect: The presence of a large number of initial electrons, combined with the rapidly intensifying electric field, reduces the natural CORONA effect triggering time. Anticipated upward discharge channel: The PREVECTRON 2 early streamer emission lightning rod is designed to generate an anticipated upward discharge channel from its tip earlier than other nearby high points. This means the PREVECTRON 2 early streamer emission lightning rod becomes the most influential point within its protection range. During laboratory measurements, this advance in triggering time is defined as ΔT, representing the superior effectiveness of the PREVECTRON 2 early streamer emission lightning rod air terminal compared to a single rod.

Indelec Early Streamer Emission Lightning Rod Product Series

The PREVECTRON 2 early streamer emission lightning rod comes in five models. Each model consists of a stainless steel central collection rod, electrode, and housing, making it suitable for corrosive environments. Corresponding to different lightning protection radii, each model has distinct performance characteristics.
