Expansion piece
SKU ~ 79580
Product description:
- compensation of length due to deformation during current passage;
- insertion on current paths where the length exceeds 20 m;
- round conductor 8 mm.
The compensator is designed to compensate for the thermal expansion and contraction of air-termination and down-conductor systems that operate under significant temperature fluctuations (from -30 °C to +70 °C). With a temperature change of up to 100 °C, the length of metal conductors can vary by 11–12 cm per 100 meters, which poses a risk of deformation or damage to the roofing material. The compensator effectively solves this issue, ensuring the safe and stable operation of the lightning protection system.
Advantages:
-
Compensation for thermal changes in conductor length;
-
Reduced mechanical stress on lightning protection system components;
-
Decreased thermal and dynamic impact during lightning current flow;
-
Compatible with galvanized steel, copper-coated, or aluminum conductors.
Installation:
Connection is made using connecting clamps.
Note:
The compensator must not be installed on holders. Holders should be positioned outside the compensator to ensure its proper function.
