Lower Termination of Ericore Downconductor
The lower termination is a vital part of the Ericore cable assembly. The lower termination is
designed for maximum electrical stress relief of the Ericore cable, before it is connected to
the grounding system. The ultimate goal is to contain the lightning energy in the cable before
it is safely dissipated into the grounding system.
Refer to the lower termination installation manual for more details. The lower termination
consists of many intricate steps that have to be followed precisely to assemble lower
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.
