A lightning arrester spike is a device designed to protect structures and electrical systems from lightning strikes. It provides a safe pathway for lightning to travel from the top of a building or structure to the ground, preventing damage to the property.
No, a lightning arrester spike cannot prevent a lightning strike. However, it can safely channel the electrical energy from a lightning strike into the ground, minimizing damage to the building and its systems.
If your property is located in an area prone to thunderstorms or if your structure is tall, it is recommended to install a lightning arrester spike. High-value properties with sensitive electrical equipment, such as industrial facilities, should also consider installation.
The lightning arrester spike is typically installed at the highest point of a building, such as the roof. It is connected to a grounding system, which directs the lightning energy into the earth. Professional installation ensures the system’s effectiveness.
Lightning arrester spikes require minimal maintenance. However, it is important to inspect them periodically for corrosion or damage and ensure that the grounding system remains intact.
