Heat treatment within material that cause change in material strength , hardness
and other properties.
CADWELD
Grounding Connections are used to weld conductors to conductors, conductors to
ground rods, conductors to steel structures, all in various configurations and to
splice ground rods in deep driven applications.
A lightning arrester
Is a device used on electrical power systems and telecommunications systems to
protect the insulation and conductors of the system from the damaging effects of
lightning. The typical lightning arrester has a high-voltage terminal and a ground
terminal. When a lightning surge (or switching surge, which is very similar) travels
along the power line to the arrester, the current from the surge is diverted through
the arrestor, in most cases to earth.

Lightning Conductor:
Device that protects a tall building from lightning strike, by providing an easier path
for current to flow to earth than through the building. It consists of a thick copper
strip of very low resistance connected to the ground below. A good connection to
the ground is essential and is made by burying a large metal plate deep in the
damp earth. In the event of a direct lightning strike, the current in the conductor
may be so great as to melt or even vaporize the metal, but the damage to the
building will nevertheless be limited.
