EF LIGHTNING CARRIER
Product Info:
The worldwide patented E.F. Lightning Carrier is the central portion of the self-enclosed E.F. Carrier System of Lightning Protection.
The function of the E.F. Lightning Carrier is to safely conduct the high voltage lightning energy from the lightning terminal down to the ground. No side flashing occurs. The impedance of a traditional downconductor mechanism raises the voltage to over 1 MV when lightning current is flowing through. As a result, side flashing often occurs and leads to damage to building integrity, life and property.
The E.F. Lightning Carrier is composed of two identical conductors that one is coaxially placed about the other. The conductors are separated by a layer of insulator, which does not have the potential to cause side flashing. The dual channels of electrical conductance in the E.F. Lightning Carrier causes it to form a high capacitance between the two conducting layers. This design drastically reduces the impedance of the inner conductor and alleviates voltage rise in the lightning carrier due to transience. The possibility for the occurrence of side flashing is hence very low. The E.F. Lightning Carrier can safely be fitted around building corners and even inside the building.
