Earthing Church Steeples Using Copper & Aluminium PVC Coloured Earth Tapes

T&D UK are stockist distributors for the full range of AN Wallis Earthing, Lightning Protection and Low Voltage Surge Protection.

This weeks featured site photograph shows church steeple earthing using 25mm width aluminium earth tape with brown PVC oversheath. PVC covered aluminium and copper earth tape colours are available to match common building materials and provide an aesthetic finish to the external earthing and lightning protection system.

Churches, monuments and elevated structures are often locally or nationally-known landmarks - it is estimated that more than 30% of all fires in religious properties are the direct result of lightning. Lightning protection systems are designed to conduct and control the lightning current away from the building by providing a direct and easy low-resistance electrical path to the ground.

The minimum information required to design a suitable earthing system are :

  • Expected Fault Current & Fault Current Characteristics
  • Fault Current Duration
  • Soil Resistivity (Local to installation)
