This channel needs a much greater reach, there’s a whole lot of Ghanaians here and abroad who would appreciate this space… we need to get WODE MAYA to interview our man! ..
This guy has an excellent insight, vast knowledge and experience working as either a construction manager, or project manager, may be a structure engineer role 🤔 perhaps architect. Possibly a lecturer in Quantity surveying 😉. Who said ....a site managerial role? Which is which ?
You have motivated me a lot. I’m a fan. I have learned so much from you. I watch you every week. I live in the USA and I’m also building in Liberia. Again I say thanks for all your knowledge.
Thanks for this. Sometimes the current from electricity board is just too high even without any lightning strikes (at least in Nigeria), so I need to install a surge protective in my home.
Hi, Many thanks for your tips on how we should safely wire and protect our homes in Ghana. I think you're the best on RU-vid in the country if not across the continent. Do you offer an inspection(snagging) and advisory service?
although certain standard may specify 0.1 ohm's . Am electrician in Kumasi and professional plumber to. l do watching your channel you doing great job keep up
Thanks well taken,please what do you use in measuring the buried rod resistance,also do they sell surge protection boxes in Ghana?Thank you so much for the insight.
A bacia multi meter set to OHMS will be enough. Alternatively a multifunctional electrical testing machine which a top electrician will have an all be used.
I would you want to knw if u need a rod at every corner of the wall of it's just one rod for the lightning arrestor linked together for the rods coming up from the rod up there
This is down to design and engineering. There is a science behind this and a risk-assessment also. It depends on the nature of your roof. Your designer will need to look into that for you and advise. It is not a straightforward answer neither a one size fits all answer. The need for lightning protection also depends on the area you live in, the buildings around you/ their height, etc. history of lightning strikes in the area, etc, etc
And again u did mention of surge arrestor I want to know if that's will only work in the case of lightning or it works when we are experiencing a high voltage cos u know here in Ghana cases of voltage fluctuations is a common thing that's why I'm asking thanks
This is a subject I was contemplating the entire week. My Electrician had recommended that I install a lightening arrester, which I believe is the same as the lightening protection system you described. However, I wasn't sure if it was necessary, especially with the money involved. I was actually going to side bar you on this to get your thoughts; and voilà, you addressed it. I still haven't made my mind up if I should move forward with it. Your final advice please.
@@derekg3230 Hi Derek, my area is developing, as people are continually building. However, I will ask some of the folks who have built and moved to the area, if they have it. Kindly shed some light on the tallest criterion you referenced. What is the relevance? Thanks.
My Grandfather's large 2 story Wooden house had two lighting rods on the roof with 3/16" copper cable to 1/2" copper rod in the ground. edit( in the U.S.) House is over 100 years old and still standing.
One of my to do list items, nonetheless the ECG guys that gave you connection were suppose to check that prior to giving you connection. Good you shared. Regards Mr. Bright from Bright&Clara's channel
Very interesting. Spot on with the explanation of Lightning Protection System. 👏💯 Just curious what type of earthing system arrangement is installed in the property e.g. TNS or TNCS.
