Dinnteco America launches DDCE lightning protection for sub 50ft vessels
Lightning protection technology firm, Dinnteco America, is launching the DDCE Marine Mini – the latest model in its marine lightning protection product range.
Designed for vessels up to 50ft (15 metres) in length and 10ft (3 metres) in height, the DDCE Marine Mini serves a new customer base and opens up the technology to smaller vessels and even unmanned craft.
Using proprietary variable electric-field compensation technology, the DDCE Marine Mini is designed to prevent the formation of the upward leader (an upward discharge from tall structures caused by intensified electric fields) and, thus prevents direct lightning strikes on the vessel.
“The DDCE Marine Mini is the ideal stand-alone lightning protection solution for smaller watercraft up to 50 feet,” says Todd Tally, general manager of Atlantic Marine Electronics. “Its certified technology, compact design and resistance to harsh marine environments make it the most reliable option in its class to ensure the ultimate safety of a boat, its electronics and most importantly, its crew.”
Designed for marine environments, the DDCE Marine Mini’s construction combines stainless steel, polyoxometalates (POM) and saline for up to 100-metre protection and ensure long-lasting performance. Optimised for weight-sensitive masthead installations, the lightweight system weighs 1.36kg (3lbs) and occupies a 3-inch by 6-inch footprint.
The DDCE Marine Mini complies with RoHS standards and holds type approvals and certifications from international bodies including Bureau Veritas (IEC 62561-1), RINA, Lloyds, LCOE (IEC 62305-1), CE Marking, and NATO (NCAGE: SYN37).
