Won t the cable get hot and burn my roof?
NO! – The specially designed braided cable does not get hot from Lightning. A correctly grounded braided cable of adequate size provides a low resistance path to ground. If there is No Resistance, Then there is No Heat. The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) says that you can install Lightning Protection materials on or through wood and most other building materials. The key here is to use the specially Braided Cable that is specifically designed for Lightning Protection. Never use cable that is designed for regular electrical power or grounding.
