5.3.2 Variable sealing end
If the HVI
long Conductor is not connected to the earth-termination system, but to parts carrying
®
lightning voltage (e.g. metal capping of the roof parapet, ring conductor), Figure 12 is decisive for the
effective length of the sealing end (see also Fig. 13, page 17 and Fig. 14, page 18).
No special installation conditions must be observed in the area below the separation distance "s" of
17.5 cm (in air) on the earth connection element (direct connection).
Due to the routing of the HVI
common to establish a second sealing end if the separation distance "s" is ≥ 50 cm (in air).

Due to the variable sealing end and the resulting reduced length of the sealing end, no additional spa-
