History

Established in 1972, Pontins’ earthing and lightning protection products have evolved through experience, research, on-site testing and development into a world class range for the installation of conventional lightning protection systems.

In order to stay up to date with the latest trends in the protection of human lives And material assets from hazards of lightning, we are actively involved with Various international and national standards committees. This assures that our Products offer the highest levels of protection in even the harshest of lightning environments.

All of our products have undergone extensive on-site testing and development And with over 40 years of experience our products are long lasting and able to withstand multiple direct strikes with little or no detrition.

The production of our products have through experience been refined to the Highest quality standards and reliability.

Our range of products offer complete solutions for any conventional lightning protection application for any industry sector including : mining, petrochemical, power generation, aviation, commercial, medical, industrial and many more.

In order to minimize any dangerous overvoltages low resistance earthing systems are recommended.

Earthing systems are designed for the following applications :

Power / Electrical Systems

Data Systems

Depending on the required application the followingtypes of earthing systems form the basis for anyEarth termination design :

Type ‘B’ Earthing Systems - Ring Type

Combination Type ‘A’ & ‘B’

A single integrated earthing system is preferable, which is suitable for all purposes (i.e. Lightning protection, electrical systems, telecommunications systems and data systems).

Exothermic Connections

The Exothermic Welding process has been proven to provide a low resistance, durable and permanent connection of various types of conductors. The Exothermic Reaction produces a high temperature molecular bond between the conductors, the result is superior performance over any known mechanical or pressure type connection.

Exothermic Connection Advantages :

Ÿ Requires no external source of heat or power so it is ideal for field operations.

Ÿ Connections will not loosen or corrode over time because of the atomic bond.

Ÿ Exothermic connections provide greater current carrying capacity than the conductors.

Ÿ Versatile applications almost any conductor type and size connection is possible.

Ÿ Lasts indefinitely and will not age.

In the event of a direct lightning strike to the lightning protection system, the down conductor system is designed to safely guide the lightning current from the air termination system towards the earth termination system.In order to reduce the probability of damage due to Lightning current flowing in the lightning protection System, the down conductors be arranged in such a way from the point of strike to earth :

shall

So that several parallel current paths to earth exist

So that equipotential bonding to conducting parts of the structure is performed.

So that the length of current path is kept to a minimum

So that the Separation Distance between the down conductors and other electrically conductive elements within the structure shall be taken into account.

Down Conductor Systems

Natural Down Conductors

17

The following parts of a structure can be considered as a natural down conductor.

Structural Steelwork

Rainwater Down Pipes (Provided that the cross section exceeds 50mm², the thickness exceeds 0,5mm and that the sections are welded together)

Concrete Steel Reinforcing (care must be taken to ensure electrical continuity across the interconnected concrete steel reinforcing).

Steel Facades (provided that the thickness exceeds 0,5mm and that there is electrical Continuity in a vertical direction)

The use of natural elements of the structure will result in a more effectivelightning protection system, an aesthetically pleasing installation and theseparation distance between the lightning protection system and the Internal conductive can be ignored.

AIR TERMINALS

The probability of structure penetration by lightning is considerably decreased by the presence of a properly designed air termination system.

Air termination systems can comprise any of the following elements:

Individual air termination rods should be connected together at roof level to ensure current division.

PositioningAir terminals installed to a structure shall be located at Corners, exposed points and edges in accordance with One or all of the following methods:

Air terminals should be installed as follows:· If the roof is made of non-combustible material, air terminals may be installed on the surface of

the roof.· If the roof is made of readily-combustible material, due care needs to be taken with regard to the

distance between the air termination conductors and the material. Typically, for thatch roofs, a distance of 1,0 m is adequate.

Natural air terminalsMetal components of a roof structure may be considered as natural air terminals and therefore part of the LPS – provided they are in accordance with the following table :

· Rods and finials (including free-standing masts)

· Meshed conductors

· Protection angle method

· Mesh method

· Catenary wires

· Rolling sphere method

Internal Equipotential Bonding

34

EQUIPOTENTIAL BONDING

Eqipotentialization is performed to prevent dangerous sparking within a structure due to lightning current flowing in the external LPS or any conductive parts of a structure.

The equipotential bonding of the following elements to the external LPS is essential :

Internal Systems

The interconnection of the LPS to these systems can be done by means of the following :

The value of carrying out of the correct equipotential bonding cannot be understated in value of protecting electronic equipment.

Metal Installations

External conductive parts and lines connected to the structure.

Bonding conductors, where electrical continuity is not provided by natural bonding

Surge Protection Devices, where direct connections with bonding conductors is not feasible.
