Product Information:
Copper Cable (Lead covered stranded) is used as a lightning protection or earthing conductor in areas where corrosion is an issue.
Features:
Material: Soft drawn stranded copper cable
Standard: BS:EN 60228
Covering: Type ‘B’ lead alloy (2mm thick coating)
More Information:
Conductors provide a low impedance path and they must be:
- Correctly sized for fault current
- Sufficiently robust to resist mechanical damage
- Able to resist the effects of corrosion
Conductors are an essential component of a Lightning Protection System. They form part of:
- The Air Termination Network – arresting the lightning strike
- The Down Conductor System – taking the lightning discharge to ground
- The Earth Termination Network – safely dissipating the lightning discharge into the ground.
Conductors are also an integral and important component of an earthing system, whether this be for a power station, sub-station, cell site, solar PV array, etc.
