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

QUALIT SOLUTIONS FOR SAFEGUARDING PEOPLE, STRUCTURES AND SERVICES
The decision about which type use often
based more country-specific historical
preferences aesthetic considerations than the
superiority one type over another.
A coil circular conductor can quickly installed,
being easy bend any plane, and only needing
a straightening tool give very neat finish. Available in
copper aluminium, solid circular conductors.
.
Stranded conductor system
The Furse range soft drawn stranded
conductors available copper, either bare or
PVC insulated.

02 Copper solid
circular system.
The Furse range conductors is
complemented complete range fittings,
including clips, clamps, holdfasts and
bimetallic connectors.
Solid circular conductor system
Solid circular conductors can used applications
where aesthetic considerations are important.
Flat tape conductor system
Flat tape conductors are easy install, with need
to straighten for neat finish. Available copper
or aluminium, flat tape can installed bare with
a choice PVC coverings, enable the tape to
blend with modern building fabrics.
The diameter solid circular range less
conspicuous than the flat tape system, and lends
itself much better being concealed.

03 Copper cable &
wire system.
Tinned copper tape also available for
applications that require additional protection
measures, and copper braid available for use
where flexibility necessary, e. High quality
Furse conductors, plus appropriate fittings,
are available for all three systems.g.
Furse copper tape manufactured to
BS 13601, whilst Furse aluminium tape is
manufactured 755-5.
Furse copper solid circular conductor manufactured
to 13601, whilst Furse aluminium solid
circular conductor manufactured 755-5
