ELKO-BIS 55.2 OG 1-hole cross clamp for lightning protection systems

The ELKO-BIS 55.2 OG is a professional 1-hole cross clamp engineered for the secure connection of lightning protection conductors. This component is specifically designed to provide reliable mechanical and electrical bonding between round conductors, which is critical for the effective discharge of lightning currents and the overall integrity of grounding systems. Constructed from high-quality materials, this clamp is built to withstand harsh environmental conditions, making it a dependable choice for both residential and industrial lightning protection installations.

Advantages

The primary advantage of this cross clamp lies in its robust construction, which ensures long-term durability and resistance to corrosion in outdoor settings. Its 1-hole design simplifies the installation process, allowing for quick and precise alignment of conductors. By providing a stable connection point, it minimizes electrical resistance and ensures that lightning protection systems function optimally during atmospheric discharges. The component is compatible with standard round conductors, offering versatility for various system configurations.

Suitable for

• Connecting round conductors in external lightning protection systems
• Grounding installations for residential buildings
• Industrial lightning protection infrastructure
• Securing conductors in earthing networks

When it may not be suitable

This clamp is not intended for use with flat conductors or non-standard cable profiles that do not fit the specified diameter range. It should not be used in environments where the material composition of the clamp is incompatible with the conductor material, as this could lead to galvanic corrosion.

Key specifications

• Type: 1-hole cross clamp
• Application: Lightning protection and grounding
• Compatibility: Round conductors
• Material: Corrosion-resistant metal alloy
• Mounting: Single-hole fixation

How to use

To install the ELKO-BIS 55.2 OG, position the clamp at the intersection point of the two round conductors. Ensure that the surfaces of the conductors are clean and free from oxidation to maintain optimal electrical conductivity. Insert the mounting bolt through the hole and tighten it securely to ensure a firm mechanical grip. Verify that the conductors are properly aligned and that the clamp is tightened to the manufacturer's recommended torque to prevent loosening over time.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify the diameter of your conductors matches the clamp specifications
• Ensure the material of the clamp is compatible with your conductor material to prevent corrosion
• Check local building codes and lightning protection standards for installation requirements

Usage recommendations

Regularly inspect the connection points of your lightning protection system at least once a year to ensure that the clamps remain tight and free from signs of environmental degradation or mechanical stress.
