After the successful premiere at last year’s Cannes Yachting Festival we will be there again this year. From 10 to 15 September, our team will be offering information on all aspects of lightning protection in the port of Port Canto.

We are looking forward to the highlight of the boat show season – the Cannes Yachting Festival on the Côte d’Azur, one of the largest in-water boat shows in Europe. The lightning protection for yachts is becoming increasingly important, especially in the Mediterranean region. Thus, Cannes is the best place to present Dinnteco’s innovative and patented Lightning Protection System.

ELNA is the exclusive distributor of Dinnteco’s DDCE lightning protection products for the European marine market.

Conventional lightning protection quickly reaches its limits on yachts due to structural conditions. Lightning strikes on yachts can hardly be dissipated without damage to the mast and electronics. The solution is the patented DDCE lightning protection system from Dinnteco.

The so-called DDCE (Electromagnetic Charge Compensation Device), is a system for protection against atmospheric discharges and an electromagnetic protection device. It provides a constant potential equalization to protect the yacht from a direct lightning strike. Excess negative charges from the air layer are absorbed by the DDCE, compensated and discharged through the grounding. This process eliminates positively charged upward currents from the protected structure, thereby preventing the creation of a lightning channel or guide lightning.
