Description
Stirrup fitting for lightning rod or lightning rod support mast and flat or round conductor
The stirrup fitting in a lightning protection system is used in lightning rod installations. It has several key functions:
1. Connection of Conductors:
It is primarily used to securely connect two conductors or a grounding conductor to a lightning rod (Franklin Single Point or Early Streamer Emitting (ESE) Lightning Rod)If the support mast of the lightning rod which is used, can be considered as conductor, the stirrup fitting can be fixed directly to the bottom of the mast.
2. Ease of Installation:
The yoke fitting is designed for easy installation and maintenance. Its design allows for quick and reliable fastening, which is essential to ensure good electrical conductivity and a strong, 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 fitting ensures a strong mechanical connection and good electrical conductivity, which is crucial for the proper functioning of the lightning protection system, especially when it has to conduct a direct lightning strike and therefore its phenomenal electrical current to the ground.
