Conductors
Features
-The conductor is the most important component of any earthing or structural lightning protection system. We offer three types of conductor:
- Flat tape
- Solid circular
- Stranded cable
-A range of conductor materials are available.
- Above ground, copper, aluminium and steel may be used
- Below ground, copper is the most common choice due to its high resistance to corrosion.
Precautions
-It is important that earthing conductors should be correctly sized for their application, as they may be required to carry a considerable current for several seconds.
Earthing Materials
Requirements
-As with lightning protection, the first choice faced by the designer of an earthing system is the type of conductor to be used.
-The correct choice of conductor is extremely important, whether it be a simple below ground electrode or a complex computer room signal reference grid.
Electronics Systems Protection
Features
-Protection devices meet protection requirements at service entrance and local to equipment (to BS EN 62305) on all incoming / outgoing data & telecoms lines.
