All language subtitles for Film 29 Working with air-termination tips

In this tutorial, I will demonstrate how to work with air termination tips.

To be able to install the air termination tips, I already prepared a building with a

saddled roof, an earthing system, a mesh and a cable segment along the ridgeline.

In a second drawing, I prepared a flat roof with a parapet, a mesh and an earthing system.

Let's start with the saddled roof and placing the air termination tip on the cable segment

of the ridgeline.

Using this icon, we can choose between three different commands.

We can position the air termination tip with a 45° bending angle vertically on the conductor,

so in other words from the cable 90° up.

Or with a 90° bending angle laterally on the conductor, so in other words with a 45°

angle facing outside or inside.

Or with a 90° bending angle vertically on the conductor, so from the cable 90° upwards.

Let's choose the first option, 45° bending angle sitting at 90° on the conductor.

In general, we have the option to place the air termination tip directly on the conductor

or we use it to extend the conductor by placing the air termination tip on the end of the

cable segment.

We end the command by clicking left and place the air termination tip.

Here we can see the 45° bending angle.

It's helpful that the arrestor point is already shown here.

Should the cable routing be changed, we can directly see if the arrestor point is still

in its correct place and adapt it if necessary.

Let's change to the second drawing and choose the command 90° angle with a 45° bending

to the outside.

By moving the mouse cursor, we can choose if we want to place the air termination tip

facing outside or facing inside.

Here we can see the 90° bending angle.

Lastly, we choose the command 90° angle placed vertically, so 90° on the conductor.

For all three commands, we can choose if we want to place the air termination tip somewhere

on the inner mesh or if we place it, like in this example, on the conductor on the parapet.

Then we can see the 90° bending angle.

Should we encounter problems while placing the air termination tip on the cable segment

of the parapet, we should check if we defined the risk areas for the parapet appropriately.

That's it for this tutorial.

Thanks for watching.
