Through use air rods, raised conductor or
mesh, Lightning Protection System designer
can achieve appropriate positioning the air
termination line with the three methods
proposed IEC/BS 62305, namely:
• The rolling sphere method
• The protective angle method
• The mesh method
Furse air termination products are specifically
designed provide highly effective protection
against the risks and consequences from direct
lightning strike.
Our comprehensive range air rod bases,
conductor fasteners and clamps are
manufactured from high quality copper or
aluminium alloys, ensure that high level of
conductivity maintained throughout the air
termination system, and that these components
are robust enough last significant number
of years exposed roof lines. Supplied with locknut and rolled
threads, these air rods fix easily our air
rod bases.
IEC/BS 62305-3 advocates the use air rods
or catenary conductors provide protective
zone above the roof structure and any prominent
parts, such HVAC systems, plus meshed
conductor network protect flat slightly
inclined roof areas.
All these components link together with our
copper aluminium conductors, which provide
the low resistance path for lightning current,
from strike point safely earth.

QUALIT SOLUTIONS FOR SAFEGUARDING PEOPLE, STRUCTURES AND SERVICES
.
Our air rods are manufactured from high
conductivity hard drawn copper aluminium,
and provide excellent, durable strike point for
lightning.therefore highly important install a
correctly designed air termination system.

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