I feel the amount is too much, am an electrical engineer that practice. Since is a one storey building, you dont really need much material. Although the copper clap can be expensive and that is the only material expensive there. One earth rod is ok. And am sure the would be some other high building in your environment which can cover you as well. Also, it depends on the lightening arrestor you are using which is another expensive material there. One more thing, dont price him too much so he wont buy fake materials for you |

It's 2expensive at dat rate. If it's a story building that contains so many rooms, the copper bar/earth plate wil be at 2points, it wil cost u within 150k. It involves getting a 25mm earthing cable, earth copper plate, lightining arrestor, earth pit / earth rods and a test box....s |

EgunMogaji:part of nairaland forum objectives is to disperse knowledge, so its part of your "job" here to disseminate / Educate knowledge.Electrical earth fault wiring,comprising earth continuity conductors ECC to every final sub-circuit e.g. Socket outlets,& other metal parts exposing appliances, in a house or other electrical installations are done as part of house electrical wirings, while thunder/ lighting protection causes induced high static voltage from rainstorm to be attracted , arrested & buried to the general earth mass via a tallest 3 thronged spikes with heavy metal conductor arrangements or circuit on a house. Obtain quotations to settle the price problems. |

youngice: If I understood what you meant correctly, then I would say that's very dangerous. Earthing/grounding systems should have no connections whatsoever to lightening protection system. Its better to have one of the systems and not have the other than to connect them together. 1 Like |

Lajet:No. It is connected vertically from the pointed spikes on the roof to the earth where a long bar of iron is buried with large quantity of salt, coal and one other thing. Not through the rooms. Shikena. A lightling protector prevents sparks (charges) in the cloud during thunder storms from striking the house by neutralising and passing them down to the earth. 1 Like |

Check the receipt as spent on a very big duplex, depending on several conditons, you may not need as much. Notice 40meters of copper tape.

adanny01:Not so,ground/ earthing is connected direct to the electrode It's very safe and its standard industry for buildings cause the Lightning arrestor copper plate is more or less constant for all building depending on the Lightning tendency of the area But The earthing varies with respect to the size of the building 1 Like |
Re: I Want To Know How Much It will Cost me To Put Thunder Protection by kingdenny(m): 9:45am On Aug 24, 2016 |
adanny01: Lol, this guy u wanna burst your electrican , ask him the copper tape , what size is it , is it 20mm or 25mm copper tape he intends to use , now i seriously doubt the distance of the roof to the earth plus add the length that would go into the ground would reach 40 meters, find a tape and measure it yourself to be sure he is not cheating you. 20Mm copper tape currently cost 1500 per meter and 25mm cost 1700. This is for 100 percent pure copper , substandard copper tape exist which is a mixture of copper and iron , this cost less than the amount stated, u need to work with a trusted electrician otherwise he collects money for th real thing and supplies you an inferior copper tape to save cost. Why on earth is he using 3 earthrod ? A 6 ft earthrod cost 7500 and a 4ft earthrod cost 4500, there are also sinstandard earthrod that goes for 1500 and 2800 , so be careful, earthmat cost 6000, thunder arrestor spike 7500 , coppernails are not exxpensive 100_200 naira same with clip , clamp cost 700, i cants see bag of salt and charcoal in that list, remember this is a lagos price, so in owerri it could be higher , the distance between the roof and the earth is critical to be aware of , in this way he doesnt cut corners on you , Shalom You dont need two arrestors for heaven sake 1 Like |

Re: I Want To Know How Much It will Cost me To Put Thunder Protection by freshvine(f): 10:04am On Aug 24, 2016 |
ThatSameGuy: Is it lighting arrestor or thunder protector... Remember you're protecting. @ Op, there are different diameter of the copper tape and their prices varies. 18mm, 20mm, 22 mm etc. Also Check their inch to determine quality. Next is getting the pure copper brand of furse with is not mixed with any other mineral material. If you are not in Lagos, getting the best quality of furse copper tape should be above 2500 per metre in your location. A quality thunder protector should be way above 10k. Earth mat done with copper tape of about 6 metres is 2500k times 6 =15k and this depends on how many you'd want to use. I bought original furse clamp last time for 2500. These are all original furse materials. You can spend as much as 250k including labor to protect your house using premium materials and you can also use 50k to do the same job using substandard materials. |
