Conventional Lightning Arrester
A Conventional Lightning Arrester is a key component in safeguarding structures and electrical systems from the destructive effects of lightning strikes. Traditionally, these arresters consist of a simple metal rod or rod-like conductor mounted at the highest point of a building or structure. When lightning strikes, the arrester provides a preferred path for the lightning current to travel safely to the ground, thereby protecting the structure from electrical surges, fires, and damage.
Conventional lightning arresters work on the principle of providing a low-resistance path for lightning, ensuring that the electrical energy from the lightning strike is effectively dissipated into the ground. They are widely used due to their straightforward design and effectiveness in preventing damage caused by direct lightning strikes.
