INDELEC, French company founded in 1955, is the N1 Advanced Lightning Protection Systems manufacturer in the World.

Since 1986, the company has invested heavily in the manufacturing of its PREVECTRON Controlled Early Streamer Emission Lightning Conductor (controlled ESE). The latest PREVECTRON 2 series, ISO 9001 certified, has been tested in various laboratories such as C.N.R.S. in France or C.P.R.I. laboratory in India (Bangalore) but also in real lightning conditions. These tests have not only proven the reliability and the efficiency of the PREVECTRON but they also have participated in the improvement of the scientific knowledge the lightning phenomenon.

INDELEC With more than 100,000 installations al over the world, already protects major heritage monuments (like the Red Fort in Dehli, the Acropolis in Athens, the Angkor Vat Temple in Cambodia, the Tower of London and Hampton Court Palace in England, the French Parliament in Paris) to the highly sensitive petro-chemical plants in Egypt, Colombia, Iran INDELEC references also include telecom installations, IT parks, high-rise buildings, golf courses, bridges, industrial estates, government offices, schools and universities.

Prevectron Range
There are 7 models in the PREVECTRON 2 range depending on the area cover. With its new selftesting PREVECTRON 2 Millenium S6.60T, INDELEC developed a new generation of lightning conductors.

Working principle
Operation principle in 3 controlled stages:
When a lightning strike is likely to occur, the electrical activity in the air is significant (million Volts/mtr). The lower electrodes of the Prevectron use this ambient electrical field to charge the ionization phenomenon. When a lightning strike approaches the ground, the electrical field suddenly rises very fast. The Prevectron contains a device that can detect this variation in few micro seconds.

1) The ionization device is charged

2) The lightning is detected

Once the lightning is detected, an ionization phenomenon is triggered by creating high voltage sparks between the upper electrodes and the central tip. This ionization has a polarity opposite to the lightning polarity. It therefore generates the emission of a powerful streamer (upward discharge) that will intercept the lightning strike. The lightning current will then flow safely to the ground.

3) The ionization phenomenon is triggered and the lightning intercepted
