Why Choose the ABB TPH2768 Protective Tube for Round Conductors?
The ABB TPH2768 (2CTH0TPH2768) is a purpose-designed protective tube for 8 mm diameter round conductors used in external lightning protection systems. It provides mechanical protection for exposed sections of the down conductor, helping protect the conductor against accidental impact and physical damage.
As part of ABB’s external lightning protection accessory range, the TPH2768 is intended for installations where a round down conductor requires additional protection in accessible or vulnerable areas. The protective tube surrounds the conductor while allowing it to remain an integral part of the lightning current path between the air-termination and earth-termination systems.
Designed specifically around an 8 mm round conductor, the TPH2768 provides a dedicated protective solution rather than relying on improvised mechanical guarding. It is particularly useful on the lower sections of building down conductors, where accidental contact or impact is more likely to occur.

Reliable Mechanical Protection for Round Down Conductors
Down conductors form the conductive path that carries lightning current from the air-termination system towards the earth-termination system. Where these conductors pass through accessible areas, particularly near ground level, they can be exposed to accidental knocks and other sources of mechanical damage.
The ABB TPH2768 provides a dedicated protective enclosure for an 8 mm diameter round conductor. By shielding vulnerable sections of the conductor, it helps maintain the physical integrity of the lightning protection installation while allowing the conductor to continue performing its essential current-carrying function.
Typical Applications
- External lightning protection systems.
- Mechanical protection of 8 mm round down conductors.
- Building lightning protection installations.
- Protection of conductors in accessible areas close to ground level.
- Commercial and industrial premises.
- Factories, warehouses, infrastructure and utility installations.
