Compliant with EN 62561-1, IEC 62305 and NFC 17-102:2011 standards, as well as equivalent standards in other countries.
Mechanically clamping copper crossover fitting for flat and/or round conductors (round up to 70 mm2 – flat 30 mm wide).
This crossover fitting is made of untreated copper (red copper or bare copper). It also comes with stainless steel clamping screws. Finally, the fitting measures 18 x 50 x 50 mm and weighs 0.150 kg.
This product complies with EN 62561-1, IEC 62305 and NFC 17-102:2011 standards, as well as equivalent standards in other countries.
Thus, a crossover fitting is used in grounding and lightning protection (lightning rod) systems. Specifically, it creates overhead connections between conductors carrying lightning current. Its main role is to:
The crossover fitting is used to connect lightning rod conductors , whether flat or round, to ensure reliable electrical continuity.
By ensuring a good connection between the different components of the grounding system, it contributes to better dissipation of electrical currents, particularly in the event of lightning.
Bare copper has good conductivity and corrosion resistance. However, it becomes even more effective when surface-plated with tin to slow down corrosion, which is essential for the durability of outdoor or underground installations.
