Ehm boss, I don't think you should have BARE copper conductor on aluminum roof or capping.

It defeats the entire purpose of the arrester which is to catch and guide the lightning to earth. (control the path of the current) With this arrangement, the entire roof will conduct the current. What you want is an insulated tape. You also want to elevate the arrester small.

What we usually do is fix it to over head tank which is the tallest structure. Add pole of 1m.ensure it is insulated from the pole, then use insulated copper tape or maybe 25mm insulated cable as down conductor

Thanks for your observation. If you look at the at the picture very well and where we nail the arrestor. the Aluminium has no connection with the roof at all. Check the picture again.

I think I agree with the other poster, you have not directed the path of the positively charged particles of the spark, its now spread along tyhe top part of the edge of the entire building. Take not that edge has metal inside and concrete is not in 100% an insulator.
PS. You are better off insulating the base of the arrestor with tape or use patch from a cut tyre

Interesting question , can’t be a one size fit all answer , depends on individual and so many others factors

For me changed some recently , about a quarter of my holdings to conclude some real estate transactions and position in local stocks just before the advent of the new administration

Note ,most of my accretion were done at 200 to 360 , the last was done just before Covid , it’s one of my asset class , so not selling all anytime soon regardless

But my prognosis is a slight increase in the short term maybe to 800max and a gradual decline to 650 to 700 if the current reforms are well managed , transparent and foreign investors respond , a lot of ifs grin grin

Everyone that has a tank stand and everyone who lives close to one needs to be aware that this is a potential consequence of owing one or being close to one and should take action to be sure they are not living close to a ticking time bomb

I recall posting how it destroyed a school next door and killed some unfortunate kids in the south east of Nigeria

Everyone building one or hiring one should also be aware of the legal consequences if something you put up results in someone's death

it is not about how cheap you can build it, it is about how well you can build it

So don't hire just about anyone to do it

Well written. If I ever do another build it’ll have a subterranean tank with a pressurized system.

This unfortunate incident is part of a 1,000 ways to die in Nigeria.

I think the govt and the discos need to beam their lights on the activities of these CDAs.
I was told we’ll pay 250k(recently increased from 150k) to connect to the national grid.
Now, Mr Chairman has decided to flex his muscles by telling us that we will have to pay 750k because we have 3 buildings on the property. And these folks do anything they want as far as connecting to their community grid is concerned. They disconnect people when they so wish.

if there wasn’t any grid in place what will you be connecting to in the first place? Everything doesn’t have to be tribalism or sentiments but if you think it’s too expensive then make your own connection directly from kanji dam.

We bought a land in 2020 with the necessary documents, only for some people to come last month to say the land belong to their father because he bought it in 1976.

How can the same land have different land surveys?

Well done Sir, you're doing great. Please how much would it cost to set up a 10kva solar inverter system with lithium ion battery?

Secondly, did you get the starlink hardware yourself or you just did installation only? If you got the hardware yourself, how much did it cost in total (hardware + installation) to set it up? Thanks.
