Definition & Purpose

• A Copper Lightning Arrester is a device designed to protect buildings or electrical systems from lightning strikes by safely directing the high-voltage discharge to the ground.

• Installed at the highest point of a structure (roof, tower, etc.) to intercept lightning strikes.

Material

• Made of copper or copper-coated materials for:

  • High electrical conductivity

  • Corrosion resistance

  • Long lifespan

Main Components

1. Air Terminal (Rod)

   • Pointed or multi-point copper rod placed at the top.

2. Down Conductor

   • Copper strip or cable that carries the surge current to the ground.

3. Earthing System

   • Copper-bonded rod or earthing plate connected to a ground enhancement compound.

Working Principle

• Attracts and intercepts lightning.

• Conducts the high-voltage surge through the down conductor.

• Safely disperses it into the ground via an earth rod.

Types

• Single Rod Arrester (most common for small structures)

• Multi-point Arrester (used for wide coverage areas like factories or large buildings)

Applications

• Residential and commercial buildings

• Communication towers

• Industrial plants

• Oil and gas facilities

Advantages

• Simple and effective protection

• Durable due to copper's corrosion resistance

• Easy to maintain

• Ensures safety of people and equipment

Product Details:

• Copper bonded rods are steel-core grounding electrodes coated with a layer of copper to provide excellent conductivity and corrosion resistance in earthing systems.

Structure & Composition:

• Core: High tensile strength steel (typically 80,000–100,000 psi).

• Coating: Electrolytically bonded pure copper layer (usually 100 to 250 microns thick).

• Bonding Method: Molecular bonding ensures no peeling or cracking of the copper layer.

Available Sizes:

• Lengths: Typically 1.2 m, 2.4 m, 3.0 m.

• Diameters: Common sizes include 14.2 mm, 16 mm, 17.2 mm, 25 mm.

Advantages:

• High electrical conductivity.

• Excellent corrosion resistance, especially in harsh soil conditions.

• Cost-effective alternative to solid copper rods.

• Long life span in underground environments.

• Mechanically strong and easy to drive into the ground.

Applications:

• Electrical grounding systems for buildings.

• Lightning protection systems.

• Power substations, telecom towers, and industrial sites.

Standards Compliance:

• Often manufactured to comply with UL 467, BS 7430, IEEE, or local electrical standards.
