Indelec Prevectron® 3 S50 Early Steamer Emission Air Terminal

This means the PREVECTRON 3 ® is a fully autonomous system requiring no external power supply. Whilst dynamically assessing the development of the surrounding electrical field, the PREVECTRON 3® detects the appearance of downward leaders. This innovative and patented OptiMax® system is then activated to neutralize the space charges, which naturally occur around the lightning conductor. The PREVECTRON 3® is ready to operate in an optimal environment.

The controlled ionization process and the new OptiMax® technology guarantee the triggering of an upward leader ahead of any other protruding point within the area to be protected.

The PREVECTRON 3® is the preferential point of impact for the lightning discharge and provides the structure with maximum protection.

The ambient electrical field increases rapidly when a discharge is imminent and a downward leader decends from cloud to ground. This triggers the ionization process, using a spark ionization system between the upper electrodes and the central tip. The PREVECTRON 3® reacts at the precise moment, when the risk of lightning discharge is imminent
