 Earthing & lightning protection
A real & significant threat
1 Lightning is one of nature’s most powerful and destructive phenomena.
Lightning strikes present a real and significant threat to life, to the structures
in which we live and work, and to the electronic systems which support us
Lightning contains awesome amounts of electrical energy.
Lightning discharges have been measured from several
thousand to over 200,000 Amps (enough to light half a million
100 Watt bulbs) and even though of a very short duration,
can cause tremendous damage and destruction.
The consequences of lightning can be devastating:
– Direct lightning strikes damage structures, and create fire,
explosion and electric shock hazards.
– Indirect lightning (up to a kilometre away) creates transient
overvoltages which degrade electronic systems and
disrupt essential services.
Secondary effects of lightning
The effects of a direct strike are obvious and immediately
apparent - buildings damaged, trees blown apart, personal
injuries and even loss of life.
However, the secondary effects of lightning - the short
duration, high voltage spikes called transient overvoltages -
can, and do, cause equally catastrophic, if less visually
obvious, damage to electronic systems within structures.

The need for a Total Solution
Lightning protection throughout the world is now governed
by National and International standards which stress the need
for a comprehensive solution. Simply put, a structural lightning
protection system cannot and will not protect electronic
systems from lightning currents and transient overvoltages,
that’s why we advocate a Total Solution to earthing and
lightning protection. This approach to lightning protection is
now fully endorsed by the IEC/BS EN 62305, as well as NFPA
780 standards.
Therefore the Furse approach delivers effective life safety,
together with long lasting, reliable protection of a structure
and the electronic systems within. We believe the Furse Total
Solution is the best available solution for achieving effective,
dependable, long term lightning protection and earthing.
Protecting against the consequences of lightning is now of
paramount importance in any building design, our Total
Solution covers a wide range of sectors, for which we have
tailored products and services.

 Air termination
Introduction

Air termination plays a critical role in the lightning protection system, capturing the
fullness of the lightning strike current and channeling this current safely to the
conductor network.

It is therefore highly important to install a correctly designed
air termination system.
IEC/BS EN 62305-3 advocates the use of air rods or catenary
conductors to provide a protective zone above the roof
structure and any prominent parts, such as HVAC systems,
plus a meshed conductor network to protect flat or slightly
inclined roof areas.
Furse air termination products are specifically designed to
provide highly effective protection against the risks and
consequences from a direct lightning strike.
Our air rods are manufactured from high conductivity hard
drawn copper or aluminium, and provide an excellent, durable
strike point for lightning. Supplied with locknut and rolled
threads, these air rods fix easily to our air rod bases.

Through use of air rods, raised conductor or mesh, a Our comprehensive range of air rod bases, conductor
Lightning Protection System designer can achieve appropriate fasteners and clamps is manufactured from high quality
positioning of the air termination in line with the three methods copper or aluminium alloys, to ensure that a high level of
proposed by IEC/BS EN 62305, namely: conductivity is maintained throughout the air termination
system, and that these components are robust enough to last
–– The rolling sphere method a significant number of years on exposed roof lines.
–– The protective angle method
– – The mesh method All these components link together with our copper or
aluminium conductors, which provide the low resistance path
These methods are detailed within our technical reference for lightning current, from strike point safely to earth.

– Manufactured from high conductivity hard drawn copper or aluminium, with rolled threads. Supplied complete with locknut
Note: during high winds and extreme weather conditions air rods over 1000 mm long can be subjected to fatigue mechanisms.
It is therefore recommended that additional supports are considered before installation

“Field Trials in the United States, carried out over many years of research have confirmed that
blunt air rods are struck by lightning in preference to taper pointed air rods.”
