What is a lightning rod?

Lightning Arrester is one of the important protection equipment in electricity distribution and transmission networks, whose main task is discharging sudden overvoltages caused by lightning or switching to the ground and protecting electrical equipment.

The use of arresters in electrical networks

Surge arresters are usually installed at the entrance of substations, on medium pressure lines, next to transformers and sensitive equipment. With its fast operation, this equipment prevents the transmission of harmful voltages to the downstream equipment and prevents transformer, cable and electrical appliances from burning.

The role of lightning arrester in increasing the safety and stability of the network

Using a lightning arrester significantly reduces equipment failure, unwanted blackouts and repair costs. By directing excess energy to the ground, this equipment ensures the stability of the network and the safety of users in critical situations.

Types of lightning arresters and the importance of choosing the right one

Electrical arresters are produced in different types, such as polymeric and ceramic, depending on the voltage level and the place of use. Choosing the right arrester based on rated voltage and environmental conditions plays an important role in the correct operation and longevity of the power grid.
