Round cable type RD 8-V2A 5021235

Earthing conductor for lightning protection and equalization of potentials

The round RD 8-V2A conductor is a reliable solution for creating grounding systems and lightning protection. Made of high-quality stainless steel, it provides durability and corrosion resistance, which is crucial in demanding environmental conditions. Its construction, based on a single wire with a cross-section of 50 mm², guarantees effective discharge of short-circuit currents and equalization of potentials.

Construction and application

This conductor is particularly recommended for use in lightning protection systems for buildings and in installations requiring effective grounding. Compliance with DIN EN 62561-2 (VDE 0185-561-2) and VDE 0185-305 (IEC 62305) confirms its safety and reliability. It can also be used in foundation grounds according to DIN 18014, however, for installation in the ground, it is recommended to use conductors made of V4A stainless steel (e.g., RD 10-V4A), which offer even higher corrosion resistance.

Thanks to its construction, this conductor works well both in new installations and in the modernization of existing grounding systems. It is ideal for installers looking for a solid and durable solution, as well as for end customers who value safety and reliability.
