Wide application of lightning arrester

Lightning arrester, also known as lightning tower or lightning protection tower, is a device used to protect buildings, tall trees, etc. from lightning strikes. It forms a complete lightning protection system by installing the lightning arrester on the top of the protected object and connecting it with the underground leakage ground network with a conductor that meets the specifications. When the thundercloud discharges close to the ground, the lightning arrester can guide the lightning to discharge to itself, and introduce the lightning current into the earth through the grounding down conductor and the grounding device, thereby protecting the protected object from lightning strikes.

Lightning arrester is widely used in various building roofs, squares, community green spaces and other construction sites. It not only plays a role in lightning protection, but also complements the building and becomes a decorative building in the city. In addition, lightning arrester is also used in airports, oil depots, power plants, forests, meteorological stations, factory workshops and other places to prevent lightning from damaging these important facilities.

When installing lightning arrester, certain specifications and standards need to be followed. First, all metal parts must be galvanized to improve their corrosion resistance. Secondly, the lightning arrester should be installed vertically and firmly to ensure its stability. At the same time, the welding and connection parts also need to comply with relevant regulations to ensure the reliability and effectiveness of the entire lightning protection system.

It should be noted that the design and installation of lightning arrester towers should be customized according to the specific building and site conditions. Different lightning protection categories and height specifications may require different lightning arrester tower designs. Therefore, when selecting and installing lightning arrester towers, it is recommended to consult professional lightning protection engineers or relevant agencies to ensure that they can effectively play a role in lightning protection.

In short, lightning arrester towers are an important lightning protection device that can effectively protect buildings and facilities from damage caused by lightning strikes. During the design and installation process, relevant specifications and standards need to be followed and customized according to specific circumstances to ensure their reliability and effectiveness.
