shows the distances between the conductors and the
corresponding lightning protection classes.2 Down-conductors
Down-conductors are the part the external lightning
protection system designed route the lightning cur-
rent from the air-termination system the earthing
system.
Care must taken ensure that the current paths
are short and installed without loops.
The conductor system routes the lightning current
from air-termination system earthing system.Down-conductor system according IEC 62305-3

Chapter The external lightning protection system
. order reduce the probability damage
from the lightning current flowing through the lightning
protection system, the down-conductors should at-
tached such way that, between the impact point
and the earth:
• Multiple parallel current routes exist
• The length the down-conductors kept short
as possible
• Equipotential bonding created between the con-
ductive parts the building structure. Table 2. The
number conductors derived from the scope of
the building protected, although least two
conductors are required every case
