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 cableStandard: BS:EN 60228Covering: 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.
