Round cable type RD 8-ALU-T 5021294

Aluminum grounding and lightning protection conductor

RD 8-ALU-T round conductor is a reliable solution for creating grounding and lightning protection systems. Made of aluminum, it is characterized by good conductivity and corrosion resistance, ensuring long-lasting and safe operation of the installation. This conductor is used both in newly built and modernized installations, meeting safety standards.

Construction and application

RD 8-ALU-T conductor is made of a soft aluminum-magnesium-silicon alloy (E-AlMgSi0,5), which provides it with flexibility and ease of installation. Its construction – single-wire with a diameter of 8 mm – guarantees solid connections. This conductor can be used in accordance with DIN EN 62561-2 (VDE 0185-561-2) and meets the requirements of VDE 0185-305 (IEC 62305). It is particularly useful in places requiring high resistance to atmospheric conditions and mechanical damage. However, it should be remembered that AL and ALMgSi conductors should not be laid directly on, in or under plaster, mortar, concrete or in the ground.

Key features and benefits

• Material: Made of aluminum, which provides good electrical conductivity and corrosion resistance.

• Construction: Single-wire construction makes installation easier and ensures durable connections.

• Compliance with standards: Meets the requirements of DIN EN 62561-2 (VDE 0185-561-2) and VDE 0185-305 (IEC 62305), guaranteeing safety of use.

• Flexibility: Soft wire material makes it easier to shape the conductor during installation.

• Cross-section: Cross-section of 50 mm² allows for effective discharge of short-circuit and lightning currents.

• Weight: Low weight (13.5 kg/100m) makes it easier to transport and install, especially at heights or in hard-to-reach places.

• Surface condition: Supplied in a raw state, which allows it to be adapted to the specific requirements of the installation.

RD 8-ALU-T conductor is an optimal choice for professionals and individual customers looking for a reliable solution to protect against the effects of lightning strikes and ensure the electrical safety of the installation.
