6.0 INSTALLATION:
6.1 Down conductor from lightning discharge receiver shall be effectively connected to an
independent earth pit by Tinned Copper Strip of 25X3 mm.
6.2 Lightning Discharge Receiver shall be provided on any structure having height 15
metre or more. The height of the receiver above its fixing point on the structure shall
be 2 metre. The spacing between two adjacent receivers shall not be more than 20
metres.
6.3 Lightning conductor shall be of 25
25X3 mm tinned copper strip when used above ground
level. It shall be connected through test link with earth electrode/ earthing system.
6.4 The Bidder shall furnish the details including typical arrangement drawings for the
lightning protection system offered
6.5 Down conductors shall be as short and straight as practicable and shall follow a direct
path to earth. Down conductor shall not be connected to other earthing conductors
above ground level. The size of down conductor from each receiver shall not be lower
than 25X3 mm. Each down conductor shall be effectively connected to independent
earthing pit.
6.6 Each down conductor shall be provided with a test link at 1000 mm above ground level
for testing.
6.7 All joints in the down conductors shall be of brazing type. The brazing procedure shall
be prepared as per ASME Sec Sec-IX
IX and submitted for approval including
includ the brazing
filler material alloy.
6.8 Down conductors shall be cleated on outer side of building wall, at 500mm interval or
welded to outside building columns at 1000 mm interval
interval. The cleating shall be carried
out with brass conductor clamps as shown abo above.

6.10 The building on which installation of down conductor is to be carried out having
maximum height of 40.
6.11 All metallic structures within a vicinity of two meters of the conductors shall be bonded
to conductors of lighting protection system.
6.12 Lightning conductors shall not pass through or run inside GI Conduits.
6.13 The lightning protection system shall not be through cables, conduits and metal
enclosures of electrical equipment.
6.14 Testing link shall be made of Tinned Copper Strip of size 40X5mm and enclosed
inside a GI box.
7.0 TESTING:
The system after installation at site will checked and tested by the engineer in-
charge. The system will be checked for the workmanship, alignments and
material. The resistance measurement of the system will be carried out with
micro-ohm meter. Other tests will be carried out as prescribed in the applicable
standards.
