Down Conductors

"Down Conductor" is a metallic component in a lightning protection system that serves as the principal conductive path for channeling lightning current from an air terminal to the grounding system, distinguished by its function of safely conducting high-magnitude transient currents while minimizing thermal and mechanical damage.
