Lightning protection
Introduction
When designing a structural lightning protection system using the
Faraday Cage principle advocated by IEC/BS EN 62305, it is possible
to use one or more types of conductor, such as flat tape,
solid circular or cable and wire (stranded).

03 Copper cable &
wire system.
Solid circular conductor system
Solid circular conductors can be used in applications
where aesthetic considerations are important.

The 8 mm diameter solid circular range is less

conspicuous than the flat tape system, and lends
itself much better to being concealed. Available in
copper or aluminium, solid circular conductors.
A coil of circular conductor can be quickly installed,
being easy to bend in any plane, and only needing
a straightening tool to give a very neat finish.

Furse copper solid circular conductor is manufactured

to BS EN 13601, whilst Furse aluminium solid
circular conductor is manufactured to BS EN 755-5.

to straighten for a neat finish. Available in copper
or aluminium, flat tape can be installed bare or with
a choice of PVC coverings, to enable the tape to
blend with modern building fabrics.

Tinned copper tape is also available for

applications that require additional protection
measures, and copper braid is available for use
where flexibility is necessary, e.g. on moving
installations like gates or doors.

Conductors for earthing systems

For below ground earthing applications we offer
a large range of bare copper tape, solid circular
and stranded conductors thus offering the
designer of the system the correctly rated
conductor without the need to oversize.

These conductors provide either the connection

to a final earth electrode (earth rod or plate), or
the earth electrode itself (earth grid or ring
earth arrangement).

An earth conductor must be capable of carrying

the maximum expected earth fault current and
leakage current likely to occur at a structure.
The size or minimum cross-sectional area of
the conductor must therefore be gauged in
accordance with these criteria.

Introduction
Air termination plays a critical role in the lightning protection system,
capturing the fullness of the lightning strike current and channeling
this current safely to the conductor network.

It is therefore highly important to install a Furse air termination products are specifically

that blunt air rods are struck by lightning in preference to taper pointed air rods.”

Certification / Standards:  IEC/BS EN 62561-2 /  UL 96.

Illustration: air rod base and multiple point not included.
Manufactured from high conductivity hard drawn copper or aluminium. Supplied complete with locknut.
Note: during high winds and extreme weather conditions air rods over 1,000 mm long can be subjected to fatigue mechanisms.
It is therefore recommended that additional supports are considered before installation.

Earthing
Earth electrodes
Three types of Furse earth rod are available, but the copperbonded
steel cored rod is by far the most popular, due to its combination of strength,
corrosion resistance and comparatively low cost.

Quality earth rods are commonly made from

either copperbonded steel, solid copper or
stainless steel. Solid copper and stainless steel
rods offer a very high level of corrosion resistance
at the expense of lower strength and higher cost.

Copperbond rod
Furse copperbond earth rods probably offer to
the installer the best and most economical earth
rods available. They are made by molecularly
bonding 99.9% pure electrolytic copper on to a
low carbon steel core. Furse rods are not of the
sheathed type. They are highly resistant to
corrosion, and because the steel used has a very
high tensile strength, they can be driven by power
hammers to great depths. The counter-bored
couplings are made from high copper content
alloy, commercial brass is not used.

Solid copper rod

Furse solid copper earth rods offer greater
resistance to corrosion. They are ideally used in
applications where soil conditions are very
aggressive, such as soils with high salt content.

Stainless steel rod

Stainless steel rods are used to overcome many
of the problems caused by galvanic corrosion
which can take place between dissimilar metals
buried in close proximity. Furse stainless steel
earth rods are highly resistant to corrosion.

A Thread and shank diameters

Confusion often arises between thread and
shank diameters for threaded rods.

The thread rolling process, used by quality rod

manufacturers, raises the surface of the rod so
that thread diameter (B) is greater than shank
diameter (A) (see drawing). All threads are

– Diameter of rod
Effect of electrode diameter on resistance
One common misconception is that the diameter
of the rod has a drastic effect on lowering earth
resistance. This is not true! As the graph shows,
100%
you only lower the resistance value by 9.5% by

doubling the diameter of the rod (which means
increasing the weight and the cost of the rod by

Certain ground conditions make it difficult to obtain a reliable earth resistance, whilst particular installations may require a very low resistance. In such cases, FurseCEM® provides
a convenient and permanent solution. By adding FurseCEM® in place of sand and aggregate, to cement, a conductive concrete is formed. This electrically conductive medium has
many applications in the electrical/construction industry, including RF and microwave screening, static control and, of course, earthing, for which it was specifically developed.
When used as a backfill for earth electrodes, FurseCEM® impregnated concrete greatly increases the electrode’s surface area thus lowering its resistance to earth.
For further information on FurseCEM®, please contact the Furse sales office.

Used as an earth-electrode backfill to reduce soil resistivity by retaining moisture. The clay is a sodium activated montmorillonite, which when mixed with water swells to many
times its dry volume. It has the ability to hold its moisture content for a considerable period of time and to absorb moisture from the surrounding soil (e.g. from rainfall).

Down conductors
Down conductors should within the bounds of
practical constraints take the most direct
route from the air termination system to the earth
termination system. The greater the number of
down conductors the better the lightning current
is shared between them. This is enhanced further
by equipotential bonding to the conductive
parts of the structure.

Lateral connections sometimes referred to as

coronal bands or ring conductors provided either
by fortuitous metalwork or external conductors
at regular intervals are also encouraged. The down
conductor spacing should correspond with the
relevant class of LPS.

There should always be a minimum of two down

conductors distributed around the perimeter of
the structure. Down conductors should wherever
possible be installed at each exposed corner of
the structure as research has shown these to carry
the major part of the lightning current.

earth path of 10 Ohms or less. A separation distance (i.e. the electrical insulation)
between the external LPS and the structural metal
parts is essentially required. This will minimize
any chance of partial lightning current being
introduced internally in the structure.

This can be achieved by placing lightning

conductors sufficiently far away from any
conductive parts that have routes leading into the
structure. So, if the lightning discharge strikes
the lightning conductor, it cannot ‘bridge the gap’
and flash over to the adjacent metalwork.
