Lightning Controller MC 50-B/VDE


The MC 50-B/VDE LightningController is a lightning arrester, Type 1 (Class B) to DIN EN 61643-11, designed to deflect high pulsed currents (10/350). It is used in lightning protection zones (LPZ) 0 to 1 at building entrances,where it provides for lightning protection potential equalisation with the power supply lines.Because the multiple discharge gap is an enclosed arrester, no spark emissions occur outside the housing.

The Type MC 125-B/NPE total discharge gap is used in TN-S and TT network systems between N and PE. It prevents voltage drag on the conductor, thereby preventing impermissible, high contact voltages at potential equalisation.

The LightningController is used in industrial plants, public buildings, commercial and large residential buildings. It is suitable for use in pre-meter area according to VDN Directive, 2nd Edition 2004 (TAB 2000).
