Once the lightning has been captured at a preferred strike point, the discharge current must be conducted safely to ground with minimal risk of "sideflashing".

ECO can supply several different types of downconductors that can convey impulse currents safely and effectively- Purpose designed HV cables (Ericore), Bare and insulated copper, aluminium and stainless tapes braids and round cables.

Ericore Downconductor

As an integral part of the System 3000, the screened, insulated ERITECH ERICORE downconductor conveys the lightning discharge current to ground with minimal danger of sideflashing.

Conventional Downconductors

Since 1760, the most popular methods of lightning protection have involved air terminals (Franklin rods), horizontal and vertical conductors (Faraday Cage), or combinations of both.
