Why Choose the ABB Lightning Strike Counter?
The ABB Lightning Strike Counter is a dedicated monitoring accessory for external lightning protection systems, designed to record the passage of lightning current through a down conductor. Installed in series with the lightning down conductor, it provides a permanent electromechanical indication of lightning events passing through the protected installation.
The counter operates using current induced in a secondary circuit to activate its electromechanical counting mechanism. It records lightning current from 0.15 kA to 150 kA and has a maximum counting capacity of 999 events. This passive operating principle makes the counter suitable for monitoring lightning protection systems without relying on a conventional electronic display.
Designed for outdoor lightning protection installations, the unit has an IP65 enclosure and an operating temperature range of -20 °C to +60 °C. It is supplied with two connectors for 30 × 2 mm flat conductor and also incorporates a normally open remote contact for external signalling. The product is supplied under ABB order code 2CTH060001R0000.

Lightning Event Monitoring for External Protection Systems
A lightning strike counter provides useful information for the inspection and maintenance of an external lightning protection system. When lightning current passes through the down conductor, the ABB counter detects the induced current and increments its electromechanical counter, providing a visible record that a qualifying lightning event has occurred. The device can register currents between 0.15 kA and 150 kA.
The unit also incorporates a momentary normally open remote contact that closes while lightning current is flowing. This signal can be integrated with a suitable memory circuit or remote alarm arrangement where off-site indication is required. For standard installation the counter is supplied with connectors for 30 × 2 mm flat conductor; compatible ABB connection accessories are required when using suitable round conductors.
Typical Applications
- External lightning protection system monitoring.
- Lightning down-conductor event recording.
- ABB OPR lightning protection installations.
- Commercial and industrial buildings.
- Manufacturing facilities and warehouses.
- Infrastructure and utility installations.
- Public and institutional buildings.
- Lightning protection systems requiring remote strike indication.
