Effective lightning protection for buildings
Air-termination systems can be either isolated or non-isolated systems; the two types can be used in combination. Non-isolated systems are fitted directly to the object that is to be protected and the conductors are routed along the surface of the installation.
Isolated systems prevent direct strikes into the object/installation that is to be protected. Isolated lightning protection systems can be created with air-termination rods and masts, but also by fixing the components with insulating GRP (fibre-glass-reinforced plastic) holders to the building/installation to be protected. In both cases, it must be ensured that the separation distance is adhered to. If this is not possible, the insulated, high-voltage-resistant isCon® conductor can be used to achieve an isolated air-termination system within a non-isolated system.
Insulated, high-voltage-resistant air-termination device
The OBO isFang modular air-termination rod system can offer a fast and freely terminable solution for insulated air-termination rods of up to 10 m high for the largest possible protection angle.
Insulated air-termination rod with external isCon® conductor
The insulated air-termination rods protect electrical and metallic roof structures, taking into account the calculated separation distance according to VDE 0185-305-2 (IEC/EN 62305-3).
Insulated air-termination rods with internal isCon® conductor
The three-part aluminium and GRP air-termination rod with its insulated structure allows the isCon® conductor to be routed inside the air-termination rod – combining a perfect appearance with perfect functionality.
Isolated air-termination systems
With the OBO isolated lightning protection, you can erect isolated air-termination systems safely, economically and in accordance with standards. The complex contours of metallic and electrical units protruding above the roof make particular demands on lightning protection and compliance with the separating distance.
Aluminium air-termination rods
The 3-part air-termination rods of between 4 and 8 metres and made of aluminium complement the conventional air-termination system consisting of air-termination rod and concrete base, which is used for heights of up to 4 metres.
Tele air-termination rod systems up to 19.5 m in height
The air-termination rods of the irod system from OBO can stand at more than 19 metres high. The flexible system protects extremely sensitive biogas plants just as reliably as free-standing PV systems or installations in potentially explosive areas against direct lightning strikes. Solid concrete blocks give both the air-termination rods and the stands sufficient support.
