The Need for Lightning Protection
There is no known method of preventing the occurrence of
a lightning discharge. The purpose of a lightning protection
system, therefore, is to control the passage of a discharge
in such a manner that prevents personal injury or property
damage.
The need to provide protection should be assessed in the early
stages of the structure design. Although no strict rules can
be given, it is possible to use broad guidelines to arrive at the
degree of protection required.
Critical Factors to be Considered:
1. What is the risk to personnel?

2. What is the risk of equipment or structural damage?
3. What are the consequential problems of such failure?
4. Is the equipment associated with an essential/public
service?
5. Is there likely to be substantial revenue loss in the time
taken to restore services?
6. Is the structure of historical importance?
7. What are the legal implications of providing inadequate
protection? Particularly at Risk:

and equipment, lightning is a constant risk. A single direct strike

installations, and simultaneously cause substantial loss

Storm Development and Natural Ionization The Lightning Discharge
A thunderstorm commences with the development of a Within the confines of the cloud, static electricity builds to an
cumulonimbus thunder cloud. The cloud is typically formed extent where one or more neutralizing discharges or flashes

The dramatic cloud-to-ground flash is of most concern. This

is comprised of a thin, concentrated layer of negative charge, proceeds in a series of steps and branches toward the ground.
and the upper part comprises a more diffuse positively charged The protrusion of ground objects into an ambient electric field

field is established between the cloud and ground. Pointed
ground objects subjected to this ambient electric field emit
varying amounts of point discharge or “corona”, and the
resulting positive or negative ions drift upwards to form a low
density “space charge” which extends from ground to cloud.
This space charge reduces the electric field observed at
ground level, typically from 50 - 60 kV/m at heights of 1640 ft.
to 2-15 kV/m at the ground.
Figure 2. Field intensification, portrayed with lines of equal voltage

(equipotential lines), is a function of the height of the object as well as its
degree of “sharpness”.
As the downleader approaches, it causes the electric field

around points on the surface of the earth to increase rapidly,
leading to the initiation of small upward streamers from the
elevated points. Under the right conditions, these upward
streamers thermalize and become competing upward leaders
which propagate toward the approaching downleader, as shown
in Figure 4.
The ability of one ground point to develop an upward
intercepting leader before other nearby competing points means
that it can become the preferred strike point to successfully
complete an ionized path between cloud and ground, as shown
in Figure 5.
The diagrams on the next page illustrate the varying degrees
of electric field intensification created by grounded objects
subjected to an ambient electric field (in this case, that of the
lightning downward leader).

A small proportion of flashes transfer positive charge to
ground (positive lightning), as shown in Figure 7. Typically 10%
of lightning flashes are positive, although this can vary with
latitude and season. The parameters for positive lightning differ
considerably from their negative counterparts. Some of the
main differences are that the:
• restrike phenomenon is absent (no subsequent strokes)
• peak current is higher (~ 2 x)
• maximum rate of rise of current is less (~ 0.1 x)
• total rise time is longer (~ 4 x)
• stroke duration is longer (~ 4 x)
• action integral (energy content) is higher (~ 10 x)
In summary, the main lightning discharge is characterized by
a rapidly rising current (averaging about 30,000 Amps) with
maximum values exceeding 200,000 Amps. This whole process
is extremely rapid, typically occurring within milliseconds. The
average energy released in a single discharge may be 55 kW
hours. The danger lies in the extremely high rate of current rise
(up to 1010 Amps per second) which can generate very high

voltages, and also from the continuing current following the
peak.
Without proper intervention to capture and control the passage
of this lightning energy to ground, cloud-to-ground lightning can
be catastrophic.
Capturing the Lightning Discharge

In general, the highest point of a facility is the most vulnerable
to a direct lightning strike. Lightning rods or air terminals are
needed to capture the strike to a preferred point, and to help
conduct the energy to ground to minimize the risk of damage.
The number of terminals required, and their placement, is
determined by the chosen lightning protection design method.
The placement of air terminals is a critical part of the lightning
protection design process. Since the 1750’s the most popular
methods of lightning protection have involved sharp vertical
rods (Franklin), horizontal and vertical conductors (Faraday
Cage or Mesh) or a combination of both. Only if air terminals are
placed in the optimum location on the structure is it possible
to achieve an efficient and reliable lightning protection system.
Historically, a number of methods have been employed, some of
Figure 7. Positive cloud-to-ground lightning. Negative and positive
cloud-to-ground lightning typically occurs to an approximate ratio
which are still in common use, such as the Cone of Protection
of 90:10. (Protective Angle), Mesh and Rolling Sphere methods.
Typically, 90% of cloud-to-ground flashes transfer negative

charge (negative lightning), as shown in Figure 6. Such a flash
consists of a sequence of one or more high amplitude, short
duration current impulses or strokes. The subsequent strokes
are sometimes called restrikes.

Lightning Protection Conductors

Lightning protection conductors are designed to handle the
high current, short duration electrical current flows of a lightning
strike. nVent ERICO conductors are offered with aluminum,
copper and tinned copper stranding. They are designed based
on material composition and dimensional requirements defined
in standards such as UL®96 and NFPA®780. Standard spool
lengths are defined below. Cut to order (CTO) lengths are
available for an additional charge. Secondary conductors are
designed for bonding of metal objects such as gutters and
window frames.
Additional conductors designed for heavy-duty stack

applications are available on page 28. nVent also offers insulated
conductors, for non-UL applications where separation distance
and flashover are a concern.

Through Roof, Through Wall & Cable Protectors
THROUGH WALL & THROUGH ROOF CONNECTIONS
Through roof assemblies provide a connection point

to transition the external lightning protection system
to a concealed installation within the structure. Down
conductors are then routed to a point near the ground
where the conductors are transitioned outside the building
to a grounding point. This is accomplished by using
through wall assemblies. As an alternative, a through-roof
assembly can provide a transition to a point within the
structure where bonding to structural steel is used as the
down conductor.
Most assemblies are provided with gaskets to seal the
structure from moisture ingress. Additional protection can
be provided with sealers that are selected based on the
specific roofing material.

CADWELD LIGHTNING PROTECTION MOLDS

Cadweld lightning protection molds create a permanent
molecular bond that will not loosen or corrode over time, and the
connection provides a current carrying (fusing) capacity equal
to that of the conductor. No external power source or heat is
required for use, and the connections can be easily checked for
quality by visual inspection.
No special skills are required for use with Cadweld lightning
protection molds, which helps to keep labor costs low. They are
made with lightweight and portable equipment and can be used
with either Cadweld or Cadweld Plus welding material.
