There is a reason why thick copper strips are used in the lighting conductor.

Lighting is basically electricity or static electricity to be precise.

However when it comes to the voltage of lighting it consists of 200-500kV.

At such a high voltage things like the insulator hence break down and conduct electricity.

So that when lighting hits the building it does not set the building on fire these lighting conductors are installed in the building in order to avoid the building turn into ashes.
