Number of Down Conductors and Grounds
For a non-isolated ESE system, each terminal should be connected to at
least two (2)down conductors. For a better current distribution, the two paths
to ground should be situated on two different facades. If, due to physical
constraints, it is not possible to route the down conductors on two different
facades, an alternate installation method should be considered.
When many ESE terminals are located on the same building, the down
conductors shall be mutualized on a case by case basis, but a minimum of one
down conductor is mandatory for each ESE terminal.
When a natural component of a structure is utilized as a down conductor,
at least one of them must be a dedicated down conductor complying with
standard requirement.
In case of an isolated ESE system
, at least one down conductor is needed for
each ESE terminal.
Adaptor
Down conductors should be attached to the TerraStreamer
®
ESE Terminal using
the supplied adaptor as per Fig. D , and as recommended in sections following.
