The connection cable AL EXFS L200 KS from Dehn + Söhne is a specific copper cable designed for connection with the spark gap EXFS 100. It serves as an electrical link between the grounding system and the spark gap, ensuring that the grounding circuit remains functional even during a spark discharge event in the device. The product is designed for use in installation systems where a reliable and durable grounding connection is required, particularly in installations with enhanced safety requirements.

Applications
This connection cable is used in electrical grounding systems, especially in conjunction with the spark gap EXFS 100. This spark gap is designed to divert energy during overvoltage or lightning strike events, preventing damage to the grounding system from the discharge. The connection cable provides the mechanical and electrical link between the grounding point and the spark gap. As such, it is an integral part of protection systems in buildings, industrial facilities, or technical installations that require protection against overvoltage.

Functions and Features in Detail
The cable is made of copper with a cross-section of 25 mm², ensuring high electrical conductivity and mechanical stability. This cross-section is sufficiently dimensioned to safely divert high currents during overvoltage events without risk of overheating or cable breakage. The connection cable has an exact length of 200 mm, allowing precise adaptation to the mounting geometry of the spark gap EXFS 100. The cable ends are designed to connect directly to the connection points of the spark gap without requiring additional connection or extension components.

Technology Explained Simply
The function of the connection cable relies on its ability to maintain a stable electrical contact, even under mechanical stress and high current loads. Copper as the conductor material offers high conductivity and good corrosion resistance, increasing the lifespan and reliability of the connection. The 200 mm length is specifically matched to the design of the EXFS 100, allowing the cable to be installed without additional bends or extensions. This reduces the risk of contact issues or mechanical stress at the connection point.

Compatibility and Accessories
The connection cable AL EXFS L200 KS is intended exclusively for use with the spark gap EXFS 100. It is not suitable for other spark gaps or grounding components, as the connection geometry and electrical requirements are specifically matched to the EXFS 100 model. No additional accessories or combination options are mentioned in the source material.

Installation and Mounting
Mounting is done by directly connecting to the designated connection points of the spark gap EXFS 100. The cable is pre-fabricated to the required length of 200 mm, so no additional processing or shortening is necessary. The mechanical strength of the copper conductor allows for secure fastening without requiring additional brackets or connection elements. Installation is carried out as part of the overall grounding system and spark gap installation.

Operational Advantages
Using a specifically matched connection cable increases the reliability of the grounding connection. The precise length and sufficient cross-section ensure the cable remains stable even under stress from overvoltage currents. The use of copper ensures high electrical conductivity and minimizes resistive losses. Direct compatibility with the EXFS 100 spark gap reduces installation errors and enables quick, secure installation.
