     MAIN CHARACTER of TSTLP Isolating/Lightning Spark Gap for Lightning Protection

    1, For indirect connection / earthing of functionally isolated parts of installations under lightning conditions

    2, For bridging insulating joints, insulating (Pipeline) Flanges against damage caused by overvoltages, etc. in cathodically

        protected pipe sections, to avoid failures, downtimes, and even leaks on pipelines and protect sensitive insulating 

         flanges against sparkover, which in turn to ensures smooth operation of the pipeline.

    3, For safer installation in Ex zone 1 (gas) or 21 (dust)

    4, Extremely low sparkover voltage &  high alternating current withstand capability

    5, Specially used for lightning equipotential bonding in Hazardous Areas

    6, Approval according to ATEX directive 2014/34/EU, European Explosion-Proof Ex Certificate Available

    INSTALLATION INSTRUCTION 

    Applied for in-doors & out-doors,in damp rooms as well as underground installation.

    WARNING:  

    1. The equipotential bonding connector must be installed by electrically skilled person, conforming to national standards and safety regulations.

    2. It is recommended that installation of the spark gap earthing should be done under lightning/power off condition.

    3. For safety, all grounding system should be connected together with no separation what so ever; If separated earthing system, there’s always a risk of potential difference between earthing systems.

     

    - KNOWLEDGE - 

    1- What's is Isolating Spark Gap (ISG) ?

    - Based on gas discharge technology, component with discharge distance for isolating electrically conductive installation parts.

    NOTE: In the event of a lightning strike, the installation parts are temporary connected conductively as the result of response of the discharge.

    2- Isolating Spark Gap Function:

    - Isolating spark gaps have been specially designed to isolate the electrical system for equipotential bonding connection (especially for the separated grounding systems for applying in Hazardous / Explosive Areas with Safer Lightning Impluse Protection), and TSTLP European Ex/ATEX directive certified isolating spark gap is one of the imperative device in surge protection as it serves the cathodic protection in oil and gas pipeline and the Cathodic surge protection device protects the equipment from corrosion. It works against the lightning and switching surges. 

    3- What is the Isolation Spark Gap used for ?

    TSTLP Isolating Spark Gaps (ISG) are mainly used for lightning equipotential bonding Connection, Ex Areas for indirectly connecting/grounding/earthing functionally isolated installation parts under lightning conditions.

    Isolating spark gaps for above-ground(above earth) & under-ground(under-earth) installation that are used to indirectly earth and connect functionally isolated parts of installations under lightning/surge conditions.

    4- How isolating spark gap works (Working Principle):

    - During normal operation, these high-impedance components act as open switches and ensure electrical isolation between pipe sections and earth/groud potential. If there is a voltage increase, the isolating spark gap changes to very low impedance – and at a defined response voltage, the switch' is closed.

    Also refer isolating spark gap as spark gap surge protection or spark gap surge arrester or spark gap lightning protection.
