Lower Termination of Conventional
Downconductor to the Lightning Earth
• If installing stranded copper cable as a downconductor then the lower end should be
connected to the lightning earth through the use of an earth rod clamp and then wrapped
with waterproofing tape to avoid oxidisation.
• If installing copper tape (25mm x 3mm) as a downconductor then the lower end should be
directly connected to the lightning earth through the use of a suitable earth rod clamp and
then wrapped with waterproofing tape to avoid oxidisation.
