The upper termination is a vital part of the Ericore cable assembly. The upper termination is
designed for maximum electrical stress relief of the Ericore cable, before it is connected to
the Dynasphere terminal. The ultimate goal is to contain the lightning energy in the cable and
bring it safely to the grounding system.
Refer to the upper termination installation manual for more details. The upper termination
consists of many intricate steps that have to be followed precisely to assemble upper
termination correctly.
If the instructions are not followed correctly, or if any of the insulation layers or the copper
foil are incorrectly cut, then the integrity of the whole lightning protection is affected.
