Before bonding of these earths takes place make sure proper
authorisation is gained.
Bonding cable must be 70mm (2/0AWG) minimum depending on local
standards. It may be necessary to use a Transient Earth Clamp (LPI
TEC) which bonds all earths to the same potential under transient
conditions.
For further information, it is advisable that local applicable standards
are used, ie IEC 61024-1, BS 6551, AS1768-2003, NFPA 780. C22.1
-98 and NEC.
It is the responsibility of the customer/installer to label earth pits or
earthing systems to local requirements.
If installing LPI HVSC, the HVSC downconductors(s) may have had the
upper terminations completed at a pre-specified end of the cable by the
LPI factory before being shipped.
When removing HVSC downconductor packaging, do not use a knife or
cut in any way as this can damage the outer layer of termination.
LPI’s HVSC has an outer layer which is approximately 2mm (1/16in.)
thick. Be careful not to damage this layer.
Place the HVSC downconductor cable drum close to where it is to be
installed.
