Lightning protection class I 

The mounting example shows a better division of the lightning current to 

two isCon cables through the use of an isFang interception rod with two 
external cables 

1

 and 

2

. The isCon cables are run on two separated 

ring conductors 

3

 and 

4

, which are run on opposite sides of the build-

ing.
The potential connection clip 

5

 (type 927 2 6-K) must be mounted, in 

order to create an electrical connection between the jacket of the external 
isCon cables and the interception rod. The potential is connected here. 

Alternatively, the potential can be connected at the interception rod stand 

6

, providing that the potential connection clip 

5

 is mounted.

The distance x (= separation distance s multiplied by two) between the 
potential connection terminals and the rear connection elements should 

be noted.
