Introduction
The proper functioning of industrial and commercial establishments relies on proper electrical infrastructure. Thunderstorms bring uncontrolled electrical energy that can destroy control systems, automation systems, devices, telecommunication networks among many others. A good lightning protection system ensures minimum levels of electrical disturbance, downtime, damage to equipment as well as safety.
Down conductors are an important part of this system. They provide a planned conductive path for lightning current to travel from the air termination system to the earthing system, helping the energy safely discharge into the ground.
