www.Primo.com: Lightning rod.

Lightning arrester is a device used to deliver electricity from the lightning to the ground .
Lightning rod is necessary in order that the flow of electricity from the lightning can be ' tamed ' so as not to endanger the structure or living things .
These devices are often referred to as a lightning conductor or rod Franklin .
Lightning rod is widely used throughout the world as a lightning protection system
Lightning rod is considered effective for reducing fire -related losses and structural damage due to lightning strikes .
These devices are generally made of metal , ideally highly conductive metal such as copper .
When lightning struck the metal , electricity will be distributed through the wire leading to the ground ( grounding ) .
Lightning rod works by diverting power from vulnerable structures . That's because, this tool commonly mounted on the roof of the building .
Lightning rod should be connected with a wire or cable that will directly distribute electrical energy to the ground , rather than propagating through telephone or electrical wires that could lead to fires .
Benjamin Franklin is recognized as the inventor of the lightning rod .
Franklin did some experiments with lightning , including the use of kites dicanteli key . He is a scientist who is very interested in exploring lightning and electricity .
Realizing that lightning is a major threat , Franklin came up with the idea of a lightning rod then immediately skyrocketed its popularity .
Hundreds of years later , people still use the basic design found Benjamin Franklin.
There is some debate over how the shape of the tip of the lightning rod . Franklin lightning rod design is shaped like a giant needle with a pointed end .
Many Americans like this design because it is very effective .
However , most of the British designer found a lightning rod would be better if the ball -shaped tip .
All of these design differences seem to work equally effectively .
Differences lightning rod end design is more determined by the preferences of each user .

Lightning rod is a circuit that functioned to maintain an area with a certain radius in order to avoid the danger of lightning
Lightning rod is composed of four types , namely ;
1 . Franklin type lightning rod Rod / convensional
2 . Radioactive lightning rod type electrotis
3 . Corona Ionization type of lightning rod
4 . Lightning arrester type the Faraday Cage
Convensional lightning rod :
Lightning rod is effectively used for narrow areas such as housing , buildings, gas stations , tower bts , etc.
Convensional lightning rod sytem is a string of which functioned as a lightning lane lines atu electrical charge generated from the flash of light striking the conductor ( Air terminal splitzen / spplitzen / spear lightning rod ) is installed on the end or on top of buildings and circulate through Kable bc to the grounding system in the chopped without damaging the objects in its path .
Components of a lightning rod convensional series are:

1 . Splitzen / Airterminal Splitzen / lightning spear

Consists of 3 types of ;
A. splitzen with spear pointed tip with varying sizes
adjusted to the needs or the area to be protected
Size : for pipe/pole with a quasi three quarters in length of 30 cm, 25 cm,
and 60 cm.
: For pipe / pole with quasi 1 -in length of 30 cm, 25 cm, and 60 cm.
Bs . Splitzen Trisula
Splitzen Trident has a unique shape that is with 3 heads
conductor which serves to receive a lightning strike with a certain radius .
Size splitzen trident namely :
Size : for pipe / pole with quasi 3/4 in
: For pipe / pole with a quasi- 1 in
C . Splitzen Aluminum.
Splitzen aluminum base material is made of aluminum commonly used for the tower needs .
Splitzn ade of pure copper base function will be compared with the current Babet made many in the market , because it can not drain current Babet perfectly therefore , to achieve maximum results make no mistake selecting raw material as it will result in fatal .
To know the basic ingredients of splitzen enough to scrape the surface :
if the color of his skin changed color it white or pewter color ( silver ) it is made of Babet and it is very dangerous if in contact with a bolt of lightning , as it will be easily broken but it also will not be able to drain current to the ground .
And if the skin is scraped red color arises from the material it is made of copper and it is slpitzen that can be used for lightning protection conductors in the circuit .

2 . Cable conductor / Kable BC

Conductor cable made of braided copper wire . Diameter conductor braided cable
about 1 cm to 2 cm . Conductor cable to continue the flow of electric charge function
of electrical charge to the ground rod . The conductor cable installed on the wall
on the outside of the building .

3 . Lightning-rod .

Usually made of iron pipe with threaded or quasi adjusted with
the size of the lightning rod that will be used .

4 . Clam bc .

This tool is used to connect the circuit cable bc lightning rod .

5 . Ardeu + eart rod clamp .
