Lightning protection system is especially used and designed to shield a house or structure from damage caused by lightning strikes. The copper bonded ground rods are meant to intercept such strikes while safely passing the extremely high force of currents to ground.
Design and installation:
In order to direct the full force of energy of the destructive power to ground proper lightning protection systems to the underground connection should be made with none other than copper wire. The underground connections of lightning protection system are not made of aluminum wire as this will corrode when located in the ground. As per the national standard of electrical code the aluminum cable connection should be linked with a bimetal link and this should not be less than 18 inches on the top of the ground. A lightning strike commonly occurs when a passing cloud occupied with negative charges of electrical energy comes in contact with the positive energy force in the earth. Perfectly bonded rods basically drive easier, last longer and never split or crack. Threads are rotated by roll threading methods and it ensures long lasting copper covers well maintained at the basis of the string. Roll thread gives greater strength than cut thread. Cable rolling process increases the surface with corrosion resistance and it also provides lowest resistance to the ground.
The copper bonded ground rods are generally about eight foot and should be a minimum of two feet away from the exterior wall of the home. For fitting lighting safety system there must be at least two ground rods installed on opposite ends of the system, with one close to the service access ground rod well bonded. It also ensures that there is a common base between all rods. The length of the connecting copper cable between the aluminum cable and ground rod is about four feet long. Place the ground rods diagonally on either end of the house, not exceeding 100 feet between the two ground rods. If this distance exceeds, supplementary ground rods must be joined to ensure proper grounding.
Usefulness:
Lightning rods especially copper bonded ground rods are ten to twelve inches long. These rods are great conductors of electrical energy because of their low impedance and resistance. These types of materials are also corrosion resistant, with the very exception of copper when it is added to aluminum or metal roofs. Lightning protection system protects concrete structure from serious damage caused by lightning strikes while safely passing the extremely high energy charges or currents to the ground. Lightning protection systems lessen the fire hazard that lightning strikes causes to houses. A low impedance track for the lightning power force is attained by the channelized protection system through inflammable structural materials. Large metal objects and electric service ground are connected between the two lightning rod systems and it prevents the chances of a side flash. Bare copper is not installed on aluminum or galvanized surfaces. Low carbon steel with high resistance power is used as materials for manufacturing authentic copper bonded ground rods that have wide ranging applications.
