TAC-GA01/C: Grounding box with integrated lightning counter

TAC-GA01/C

TAC-GA01/C is a grounding junction box integrated with a lightning strike counter, specially designed for direct lightning protection systems and surge protection systems. It serves as an intermediate connection point between ESE Terminal or surge protective devices (SPDs) and the earthing system, ensuring continuous bonding, equipotential equalization, and accurate recording of lightning current events. The product is designed to meet high technical standards and is suitable for residential, industrial, telecommunications, CCTV, solar power, and energy infrastructure projects.

With its IP66 waterproof rating, high-quality engineering ABS material (Korea), and digital lightning event counter, TAC-GA01/C provides outstanding durability in all environmental conditions.

Key Features of TAC-GA01/C

• Enclosure made of high-quality engineering ABS, impact-resistant, suitable for outdoor installation or coastal areas, humid environments.
• Standard dimensions 200 × 200 × 100 mm, easy to install on walls or poles; copper earth bar (180 × 30 × 3 mm) to concentrate on grounding wires and ensure secure and reliable bonding.
• Integrated Citel LSC-A lightning event counter with a measuring range of 0.5–100 kA, accurately counting each lightning discharge using Magnetic Field Sensing Technology, without requiring a power supply.
• Enables monitoring of lightning surge events, allowing timely evaluation of protection effectiveness and electrical safety inspections.

The TAC-GA01/C grounding box includes an equipotential copper bar that helps to:

• Collect grounding conductors from SPDs, lightning rods, electrical panels, equipment, and industrial machinery into a single common grounding point.
• Reduce electric potential differences during lightning surge events.
• Prevent back-flashover and secondary discharges that may damage equipment.

TAC-GA01/C is suitable for external lightning protection systems of buildings, internal surge protection for sensitive equipment and also serves as a grounding junction box for PE conductors of electrical panels in office buildings, telecom stations, solar power systems, and various industrial installations.

Benefits of using a grounding box with integrated lightning counter

• Safely conducts lightning current from lightning rods or SPDs into the earth,
• Monitors lightning strike occurrences for timely maintenance and replacement,
• Ensures equipotential bonding and voltage equalization, improving safety for both equipment and personnel,
• Reduces the risk of fire, explosion, and electronic equipment damage caused by lightning-induced surges,
• Easy installation and long-term durability in outdoor environments,
• Convenient isolation of conductors for earth resistance testing,

For design consultants, installation teams, and owners seeking a high-quality grounding box with an integrated lightning surge counter to monitor and evaluate electrical safety and protection system performance, TAC-GA01/C is one of the optimal protection solutions to consider.

TAC-GA01/C is an essential grounding product that enhances electrical safety, minimizes risks, and supports effective system management and maintenance.
