P1513 Indelec Prevectron® 3 TS25 ESE Air Terminal – New Original Unit

P1513: Advanced Early Streamer Emission Lightning Protection

The P1513 represents the cutting edge of lightning protection technology, identified as the Prevectron® 3 TS25. Manufactured by Indelec, this Early Streamer Emission (ESE) air terminal is designed to protect complex structures and open areas by generating an upward leader significantly faster than a traditional Franklin rod. As a genuine industrial part, the TS25 integrates the latest innovations in high-voltage physics to ensure the safety of personnel and infrastructure during electrical storms.

Patented OptiMax® Technology

At the core of the P1513 is Indelec’s patented OptiMax® technology. This innovative system neutralizes the space charges that naturally accumulate around the tip of the lightning conductor before a strike. By clearing these charges, the TS25 creates an optimal electrical environment for the formation of the upward streamer.

This process results in a verified gain in sparkover time ($\Delta T$) of 25 microseconds (µs). This «early» emission allows the air terminal to intercept the downward leader of a lightning bolt at a higher altitude, thereby creating a larger radius of protection compared to passive systems. The OptiMax® circuitry operates autonomously, requiring no external power supply, making it a reliable, self-sustaining solution for remote or difficult-to-access installation sites.

Certified Compliance with NF C 17-102:2011

The P1513 is fully engineered and tested in accordance with the strict requirements of the NF C 17-102:2011 standard. Indelec’s commitment to quality is demonstrated through rigorous testing campaigns, not only in high-voltage laboratories but also in real-world lightning conditions. The Prevectron 3 series has been subjected to thousands of impacts in dedicated testing centers (such as Camp Blanding, Florida, and Brazil), validating its mechanical robustness and electrical performance under extreme stress.

Modular Design and Sustainable Construction

The P1513 features a unique modular design, which is a first in the ESE market. This architecture allows for the replacement of specific modules if damaged, extending the overall lifecycle of the protection system. The unit is constructed from high-quality materials, including nickel-plated copper and stainless steel, ensuring exceptional resistance to corrosion in industrial, marine, and urban environments.

Furthermore, the Prevectron® 3 TS25 bears the Eco-Label, reflecting a manufacturing process that prioritizes sustainability. It is designed to be 100% recyclable at the end of its service life, aligning with the environmental goals of modern facility management.

Global Application and Reliability

This air terminal is suitable for a wide range of applications, from heritage buildings and industrial plants to sports stadiums and solar farms. By installing the P1513, facility owners invest in a system that has proven its reliability through the most extensive certification process in the industry, including UL (Underwriters Laboratories) listing and Qualifoudre certification.
