Conventional Lightning Arrestor

The conventional lightning arrester consists of Franklin rods. Their effectiveness is decided based on their position, morphology, materials used, and physical reaction that is performed due to the electrostatic field during the lightning.The types of lightning arresters are rod, sphere, horn, multi gap, electrolyte, and metal oxide. The types of surge arrestors are distribution, low-voltage, station, DC, neutral protection, fiber tube, signal, network, etc. This arrester can be used as a surge arrester.A Conventional Lightning Arrester is also called lightning diverter is a device used on electric power systems and tele communication systems to protect the insulation and conductors of the system from the damaging effects of lightning. The typical lightning arrester has a high-voltage terminal and a ground terminal.
