Key Information about Lightning Arrester Spike:

Function

The primary function of a lightning arrester is to divert the high-voltage lightning strike away from the protected equipment. It prevents damage to electrical systems by providing a low-resistance path for the lightning current to reach the ground.

Construction

Lightning arresters are typically composed of a metal rod or conductor, which acts as a lightning rod, and a grounding system. The lightning rod is often mounted on top of structures or equipment to attract and capture the lightning strike.

Metal Oxide Varistor (MOV):

Commonly used in modern surge arresters. MOVs are semiconductor devices that have a variable resistance, providing high resistance under normal conditions and low resistance during a surge.

Installation:

Periodic inspections are necessary to ensure the lightning arrester and its associated grounding system are in good condition. Damaged or corroded components should be repaired or replaced promptly.

Maintenance:

Periodic inspections are necessary to ensure the lightning arrester and its associated grounding system are in good condition. Damaged or corroded components should be repaired or replaced promptly.

Types of Lightning Arresters:

Rod or Franklin Rod: Developed by Benjamin Franklin, it consists of a pointed metal rod that extends above the protected structure. When a lightning strike occurs, the rod provides a path for the lightning to follow, directing it safely to the ground.
Surge Arresters: Used in electrical power systems, telecommunications, and electronic devices. These are designed to protect against overvoltage or surges caused by lightning, switching operations, or other factors.
