Testing Lightning Conductors and Earth Electrodes.

Zoomup over 5 years ago

I am just curious. A local church is having its lightning protection system inspected and tested any A.N. Other. It is an old Norman church with a tall tower.

The downleads are copper and have no disconnection points above the earth electrodes. I have seen inspection joints on other buildings so that the earth electrodes can be independently electrically tested.

How is testing carried out when the downleads are continuous please?

Thanks in advance.

Thanks all. The church has been quoted about £65 for the testing, but only if four churches are tested at one time on one day and are close together, which ain't difficult in Norfolk, as the churches are spaced at about two mile intervals. The cost seems very low to me.
