CONVENTIONAL LIGHTNING ARRESTER

   Key Features

• Lightning Rod: This is the primary component of the arrester, designed to intercept lightning strikes. It is usually made of high conductivity materials such as copper or aluminum to effectively capture the lightning current.
• Down Conductor: A cable or conductor that connects the lightning rod to the grounding system. It is designed to carry the lightning current from the rod to the ground without damage.
• Grounding System: Comprises grounding rods or plates buried in the earth, which safely dissipate the lightning current into the ground. This system is crucial for effective lightning protection.
• Spark Gap: Some conventional lightning arresters include a spark gap that creates a controlled break in the circuit to manage the electrical surge and enhance safety.
• Base or Mounting System: Provides structural support for the lightning rod and ensures its proper placement and stability.

• Effective Protection: Conventional Lightning Arresters provide robust protection against lightning strikes by intercepting and safely directing high-voltage surges away from vulnerable structures and equipment.
• Prevention of Damage: By diverting lightning currents to the ground, these arresters help prevent damage to electrical systems, reducing the risk of equipment failure and costly repairs.
• Fire Risk Reduction: Lightning strikes can ignite fires in electrical systems. Conventional lightning arresters minimize this risk by ensuring that lightning energy is properly managed and dissipated.
• Durability and Reliability: Constructed from high-quality materials, these arresters are designed to withstand extreme weather conditions and continue functioning effectively over time.
• Ease of Maintenance: Conventional Lightning Arresters are relatively easy to maintain and inspect, ensuring that they remain in optimal working condition and continue to provide reliable protection.
• Cost-Effective:They offer a cost-effective solution for lightning protection, especially in areas prone to frequent lightning activity.
