Connectors for Hollow Steel
Connectors for Hollow Steel
(OP)
Hi,
I am kinda doing this for the first time and just worried that I may not be missing some thing big time.
I have two hollow steel structures for a substation, where I am putting class solid copper 72 " 3/8" dia air terminals mounted on a copper base plate and then connected to a #4/0 SDBC conductor. The copper conductor is connected using copper fasteners to this galvalized steel structure.
I was told that it will corrode the structure.
Is this correct?
I was also told that you will have to use Aluminum air terminals and Aluminum conductor coming down the structure as well .
Could you advise, if this is correct ? What options do I have ? Could I ask for special brackets on structures or some thing.

Connector manufacturer could help with specific advice regarding their product line or recommending a corrosion inhibitor compound to provide extra protection.
