Indelec Prevectron 3
The Ultimate Early Streamer Emission Lightning Protection System for High-Risk Industrial Facilities
Lightning strikes remain one of the most underestimated threats to industrial operations. A single direct or nearby strike can damage critical equipment, halt production, ignite fires, and result in significant financial losses.
For industries such as oil & gas, manufacturing, power generation, telecommunications, logistics, and commercial infrastructure, reliable lightning protection is essential — not optional.
The Indelec Prevectron 3 is an advanced Early Streamer Emission (ESE) lightning protection system engineered to provide wider coverage, superior reliability, and enhanced protection for high-value industrial assets.
Why Lightning Protection Matters
A lightning strike can have severe consequences for industrial facilities. The risks include:
Equipment failure and expensive downtime
Damage to PLCs, SCADA systems, and sensitive instrumentation
Fires or explosions in hazardous environments
Loss of production and operational disruptions
Regulatory compliance issues
Increased maintenance and repair costs
Investing in a modern lightning protection system helps reduce these risks while protecting people, infrastructure, and business continuity.
Why Traditional Lightning Rods Are No Longer Enough
Conventional Franklin lightning rods provide passive protection by waiting for lightning to strike before directing the current safely to the ground. While effective in basic applications, many modern industrial environments require a larger protection zone and more advanced performance.
Facilities with extensive infrastructure, flammable materials, and mission-critical equipment benefit from a more proactive lightning protection solution.
Meet the Indelec Prevectron 3
The Indelec Prevectron 3 is the world's first UL-certified Early Streamer Emission (ESE) lightning conductor. Using Indelec's patented technology, the system actively generates an upward streamer earlier than conventional lightning rods, increasing the protected area around your facility.
This makes it an ideal solution for protecting:
