    3. Specification of HVI power Conductors ® Design of HVI power Conductors ® power Conductors are high-voltage-resistant, insulated down conductors with a semiconducti- ® ve outer sheath (see Fig. 1). They are typically used as insulated down conductors for lightning protection systems to maintain the separation distance in accordance with IEC 62305-3.
