Correct use
The OBO isCon
®
system is a lightning protection system for the external
lightning protection of buildings and systems, which, in the case of direct
lightning strikes, can conduct the lightning surge currents into the earth,
thus protecting the building, the system and people against the impacts of
the lightning strike, e.g. fires, mechanical building damage and possibly
lethal voltages and current pulses.
