Types of Earthing Compound Powders

Earth resistance is the measure of how easily electric current can flow from an electrode into the ground. Lower resistance ensures the current dissipates faster and more safely during a fault. This resistance depends mostly on soil resistivity. To keep the value within safe limits, the soil around the electrode ...

How to install lightning arrester on building?

Lightning arrester rods, surge arresters, or lightning conductors are metal rods installed on a building for lightning protection. They protect structures or substations from the travelling waves of lightning and divert the abnormally high voltage to the ground. They are made from copper and brass alloy which are good conductors ...

Earthing for Substations – IEEE 80

In this trending era of technology and development, earthing in substations plays a vital role. An electrical power system comprises a network of electrical elements that can be used to generate, distribute and transmit electrical energy through transmission lines. A substation is a part of an electrical power system that ...

Down Conductor

Role of Down Conductors in Lightning Protection

The electrically conductive connection between the air-termination system and the earth-termination system is the down conductor system. The purpose of down-conductor systems is to safely transport intercepted lightning current to the earth-termination system without causing excessive temperature spikes that could harm the structure. It must be mounted to ensure that ...

Installation of Lightning Conductor – Step by Step Guide

What is a Lightning Conductor? A lightning conductor is a thick copper wire or rod fixed onto the tallest point of a building and connected to the ground using a long metallic rod. It protects the building from lightning strikes by providing a low resistance path for the current to ...

What are lightning conductors & how do they work?

Lightning – a natural phenomenon as breathtaking as it is deadly. It’s a spark that bridges the gap between negatively and positively charged sections of a cloud, and its power can cause significant damage, especially to tall buildings. However, thanks to modern engineering, we have a defence mechanism against this ...

How to Test ESE Type Lightning Arresters as per NFC 17-102:2011

ESE Type Lightning Arrester, also known as Early Streamer Emission Lightning Arrester, protect buildings from direct lightning strikes. The goal of this device is simple. It increases the protection radius compared to conventional arresters, which reduces the number of arresters and down conductors needed for a building, all while ensuring ...
