The ProLEC Basic is a basic lightning current sensor designed to detect and log lightning discharges flowing through the down-conductor (the system that carries lightning current safely to the ground). Here’s a simplified version:
Purpose: Detects lightning strikes and records details about them.
Key Features:
Can handle lightning currents up to 100 kA (with a waveform of 10/350 μs).
Logs important details like the frequency, date, and time of each lightning strike.
Installed on the exterior of buildings or structures to monitor lightning activity.
Helps identify when lightning strikes affect a structure, so you can take preventative measures or make repairs.
