The downconductor has been
specifically designed to cope with
extremely high impulse voltages
and currents. Due to the nature of the
downconductor construction, and its
working environment, it is Very Important
that each step be followed and carried
out exactly as per the following
instructions.
The downconductor can be lugged (as
detailed overleaf) and then connected to the
ground rod using the ground rod clamp, or
alternatively, it can simply be connected to
the ground rod using only the ground rod
clamp.
Refer to Figure 1 for the following
instructions (1 to 10).
1. With the hacksaw (or appropriate
cutters), cut the downconductor cable to
length, leaving enough cable to be able to
easily and directly route it to the ground
termination.
