The largest and most important component of any structural lightning protection or earthing system is the actual conductor. The selection of the correct conductor type for the system is crucial. The specific conductor required will depend on whether the application is for an above ground (lightning protection) or below ground (earthing) installation.
Conductors for structural lightning protection systems
Arial conductors are essential for linking the rooftop components of a lightning protection system and provide multiple pathways for lightning to travel from the roof to the ground.
Exoweld lightning protection conductors are available in aluminium or copper.
