Due to the creep of the wire, the wire is slightly tapered, the diameter is reduced, the effective contact area is reduced, and the resistance of the groove clamp is increased. The reduction of the effective contact surface of the Lightning protection hardware is mainly due to the reduction of the wire pressure and the increased oxidation of the contact surface.
The wire pierced by Lightning protection hardware shall be such that the breaking force is not less than 95% of the breaking force of the original wire. The wire cannot lose its mechanical properties due to puncture.
