Description
U-bolt connection for lightning rod or lightning rod support mat and flat or round conductor
The saddle connection in a lightning protection system is used in lightning rod installations. It has several key functions:
1. Connection of Conductors:
It is mainly used to securely connect two conductors or a grounding conductor to a lightning rod (Simple Franklin Point or Early Streamer Emitter Lightning Rod – ESE). If the support mast lightning rod which is used, can be considered as conductor, the bracket connection can be fixed directly to the bottom of the mast.
2. Ease of Installation:
The saddle connection is designed for ease of installation and maintenance. Its design allows for quick and reliable attachment, which is essential to ensure good electrical conductivity and a solid long-term connection.
3. Adaptability:
This type of fitting is adaptable to different conductor sizes and shapes, making it useful in various lightning protection system configurations.
4. Connection Reliability:
The yoke connection ensures a strong mechanical connection and good electrical conductivity, which is crucial for the proper functioning of the lightning rod system, especially when it must conduct a direct lightning strike and therefore its phenomenal electric current to the ground.
