Liva Lightning Conductor (LLC 35 and LLC 50) can safely use Lightning Impulse Current (Lightning Strike) from Air Terminal (Passive Capture or Cage) System and / or Active Lightning Rod to Earth Termination (Grounding) System and in contact and spark gaps in accordance with standards safely and It is a conductor designed to conduct smoothly.

As it is known, lightning is an electrical discharge (discharge / jump) with a large energy. The typical feature of electricity is that it completes its circuit in the shortest way. In this context, it should be ensured that the lightning discharge is transmitted to the soil in the shortest way in buildings / facilities and other applications.

However, until the lightning reaches the ground, this high voltage on the down conductor can sometimes jump to different points that can create a path. Especially if the lightning conductor is not in sufficient contact and spark gap from surrounding surfaces, it may create hazards that can lead to serious death, material losses and / or significant fire risks. Temperatures occurring on flammable surfaces can reach up to 28,000 ° C.

In order to eliminate similar risks, “Insulated Conductors” should be used in lightning protection system projects that can carry the lightning strike and shield the magnetic field generated.

Insulated conductors are produced in two different cross-sections to be used according to the transmission distance and / or application area of the system.

These are;
1. Liva Lightning Conductor LLC 50 (50 mm²),
2. Liva Lightning Conductor is LLC 35 (35 mm²).

Properties and Uses Area:

Liva LLC 50 and LLC 35 conductors consist of a good (copper) conductor that can carry the current created by the Lightning Strike, a durable insulation that can withstand high voltage, and semiconductor layers that can shield the magnetic field it creates.

Liva LLC 50 can be used in all kinds of Active Lightning Rod applications and Air Terminal System (Passive Capture Ends, Cage System) application projects.

If LLC is 35, it may be preferred if the conductor length up to the Test Control (Test Terminal) Point does not exceed 12 meters in cases where the structure / facility is at two floors or less. In addition, LLC 35 can be used in building facilities with four (4) and / or more landing lines (helices) in the lightning protection system application.

Liva LLC 50 and LLC 35 Insulated Lightning Protection Conductors create contact and distance (spark) intervals in accordance with standards in applications. For this reason, insulated conductors are preferred especially in lightning protection systems established for buildings / facilities such as schools, hospitals, shopping centers with a dense crowd of people, buildings with easily flammable, flammable and explosive, fuel / gas stations, and public / private buildings / facilities such as arsenals. should be.

In addition, Liva LLC 50 and LLC 35 can be used in projects where long-distance conductors are required due to their very low impedance values.

In addition, there are special (insulating / semiconductor) layers to reduce the electromagnetic effect that may occur around the cable during transmission.

Conductors offer great convenience to the user in application thanks to their high strength, flexible structure and product accessories designed for every surface and connection type.

Product Accessories:

Cable Termination Headers:

Cable Termination Headers are accessories that are used to protect Liva LLC 50 and LLC 35 Insulated Lightning Protection Conductors from rust in the field, to easily connect them to other system parts and to ensure their trouble-free use for many years.

It can be used in different ways depending on the cable section used in the application and the type of other equipment and accessories used in the other system.

Below is the connection details of the cable terminations.

Cable Grounding and Coupling Head:

One of the product accessories designed for Liva LLC 50 and LLC 35 Insulated Lightning Protection Conductors is the Cable Earthing and Coupling Header.

In general, it can be used for many different purposes. According to this;
To be able to add / combine Liva LLC 50 and LLC 35 Insulated Lightning Protection Conductors,
B. To be able to connect the metal parts on the route of the Insulated Lightning Conductor to the Lightning Protection System / make it equipotential,

The connection method of the cable termination head is given below.

All of the cable headers are made of 303/304 quality stainless steel, and all accessories are presented in the set with the header.

Order codes for Cable Grounding and Coupling Header are given below.

Fixing Clamps:

Clamps are accessories used to fix Liva LLC 50 and LLC 35 Insulated Lightning Protection Conductors during the application phase and to ensure their trouble-free use for many years.

It can be used in different types according to the cable section of the conductor used in the system and the surface to be fixed.

Fixing hooks are made of durable materials that can be used in the field for many years. While the LLC 50 and LLC 35 Lightning Conductors are fixed to the surface, the crochet spacing should not exceed the distances permitted in the standards.

Tests and Documentation:

Liva LLC 50 and LLC 35 Insulated Lightning Protection Conductors have been tested and certified in independent laboratories within the scope of the company vision of LIVA GROUP.

Accordingly, it can be used in all lightning protection systems projects in accordance with National / International Standards.
