Aluminum lightning protection wire – a lightweight and economical alternative

Are you looking for an effective and easy-to-install solution to protect against lightning strikes? Aluminum lightning protection wire with a diameter of 8 mm is an excellent choice for both professionals and individuals performing lightning protection installations. It is an attractive alternative to traditional galvanized steel wire, offering a number of benefits that translate into time and cost savings.

This coil contains approximately 148 meters of wire, allowing you to carry out complex projects without the need for frequent material replenishment. Made of AlMgSi alloy, it is characterized by high electrical conductivity and corrosion resistance, ensuring long-lasting and reliable protection.

Features and application

This wire is manufactured in accordance with the applicable standard PN-EN-IEC-62561-2:2018-04P, which guarantees its compliance with the highest safety standards. It is ideally suited for:

• Horizontal and vertical down conductors in lightning protection systems.
• Grounding conductors – provides effective discharge of currents to the ground.
• Down conductors – safely directs lightning strikes.

It is worth noting that aluminum wire is three times lighter than steel equivalent, which significantly facilitates its transport, straightening and laying during installation. Its flexibility allows for quick adaptation to the specifics of the building structure, minimizing the time-consuming installation work. In addition, the lower resistivity of aluminum compared to steel translates into better electrical conductivity and more effective protection against the effects of lightning strikes.

Advantages in points – why choose this wire?

• Lightweight: Three times lower weight compared to steel wire makes transport and installation easier.
• Economy: Attractive price per meter compared to steel wire.
• Easy installation: Soft or half-hard temper makes it easy to straighten and lay the wire.
• High conductivity: Better electrical conductivity than galvanized steel provides effective protection.
• Corrosion resistance: Aluminum is naturally corrosion resistant, guaranteeing long-term reliability of the installation.
• Compliance with standards: Meets the requirements of PN-EN 62561-2:2012 and PN-EN 50164-2:2018-04P standards.
• Availability: Available in practical coils of 20 kg (approx. 148 m).

By choosing this lightning protection wire, you are investing in the safety of your installation and the comfort of work during its implementation. It is an ideal solution for experienced installers and people starting their adventure with surge protection systems.
