Functional earthing of the antenna / SAT system provides safety - for you and your customers:
- You protect people from injury
- You prevent technical outages, fires and expensive damage to buildings
- You fulfil normative requirements
Functional earthing of the antenna / SAT system provides safety - for you and your customers:
Good to know:
DIN VDE 0855 prescribes protective measures for SAT antenna systems. Depending on the given structural conditions, this brings forth standards for equipotential bonding, earthing and lightning protection.
In addition to basic requirements, the standard also mentions how the measures should be executed, i.e. which materials and clamps should be used. This includes the stipulation of cross sections, materials and types of clamp and, where necessary, the required lightning current carrying capacity.
What this means for you:
Ensure consistent equipotential bonding and functional earthing for all projects involving the installation of antenna / SAT systems.
This is fundamental to avoiding damage such as that caused by fire and protecting people from dangerous touch voltages.
New to the DEHN range are two practical, universally applicable clamps which facilitate the installation of the required protective measures.
Clamp 16 mm2
One clamp - many uses: Universal clamp for wire and cable. Just as suitable for connecting to the gutter as for connecting the earth rod.
UNI KS connector
Flexible for various cross-sections: Universal connector for conductor cross-sections of 6 - 16 mm2.
