Da Pena Palace in Sintra is protected against lightning strikes with our materials

SINTRA, Portugal - March 16, 2017 - PRLog -- Da Pena Palace, located in the mountains of Sintra (Portugal), is already protected against the direct effects of lightning strikes with a wide range of products from Aplicaciones Tecnológicas S.A., such as early streamer emission lightning rods (http://lightningprotection-at3w.com/products/lightning-rods/ese-lightning-rods/s2xat1xp1101), Franklin rods (http://lightningprotection-at3w.com/products/lightning-rods/franklin-rods-and-meshed-conductors/s2xat1xp1102), masts (http://lightningprotection-at3w.com/products/lightning-rods/masts-&-anchorages/s2xat1xp1202), adapters (http://lightningprotection-at3w.com/products/lightning-rods/fixings/s2xat1xp1201), anchors (http://lightningprotection-at3w.com/products/lightning-rods/masts-&-anchorages/s2xat1xp1202), lightning event counter (http://lightningprotection-at3w.com/products/lightning-rods/lightning-event-counters/s2xat1xp1209), clips, clamps (http://lightningprotection-at3w.com/products/lightning-ro...), etc.

Its geographical location, on the top of a hill in a natural park, results in a high probability of electrical discharge. In addition, due to its great historical and cultural value (19th Century building declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO), the damage caused by the fall of a lightning strike would be irreparable.

One of the premises of this project was the use of high quality materials with a resistance to different atmospheric conditions, that guarantee its operation and effectiveness over a long period of time and comply with actual standards.

A combined external protection has been chosen for the design, with DAT CONTROLER® PLUS 60 (http://lightningprotection-at3w.com/products/lightning-ro...), Franklin rods and copper meshes. This method increases safety with a controlled point of impact for a lightning strike and with a uniform distribution of the electric current.
