DEVICE FOR MAKING CONTACT WITH A FIELD CONTROL LAYER OF AN INSULATED DOWN CONDUCTOR IN EXTERNAL LIGHTNING PROTECTION

摘要

The invention relates to a device for making contact with a field control layer of an insulated down conductor in external lightning protection, wherein the insulated down conductor is guided at least over a length section in the interior of a support body or a support pipe, spaced apart therefrom, furthermore with a conductive connecting element, which is connected at one end to the field control layer and at the other end to an equipotential bonding, and the connecting element is in the interspace between the insulated down conductor and the interior of the support body or the support pipe or can be brought into this interspace. In accordance with the invention, the connecting element is formed integrally and has a plurality of arms or fingers which are under mechanical prestress or spring force and which come to bear against the surface of the field control layer, without damaging same.
