Lightning Arrester

Product Details:

Commonly known as the Franklin rod, these arrestors consists 5 spikes, a sphere, and a base plate with a mast mounted on the highest point of the structure to intercept the lightning strike. The traditional Air Terminals are believed to provide inverted cone of protection at 45 degree angle from the tip of these terminals. In general the theory is that higher these air terminals are mounted on the structure to be protected, larger the protection area you get at the bottom.

Product Details:

In accordance with NFC 17-102, 2011 Cikit’s R&D team has designed ESE Lighting Arrestor that ensures excellent performance, durability and long service life. In the moments directly preceding an eminent direct strike it is designed to activate itself, as it is an externally mounted, proactive, structural lightning protection device. The Armour range is made of SS 304, which provides high tensile strength to resist corrosion and damages, caused due to heat and any other chemical reactions. The internal design requires no maintenance and works in all types of atmospheric condition.

Working Principle:

ESE type -The Armour range of ESE type Lightning Arrestors is made of SS 304 which provides high tensile strength to resist from corrosion and damages caused due to heat and other chemical reactions. The Internal design has been developed in such a way that it requires no maintenance and works in all types of atmospheric conditions. The Armour ESE type lightning arrestor is an electromechanical device and does not require any external power source. When the downward leader approaches the structure and creates an electric field to enable free movement of charges, the internal design of Armour range of ESE type Lightning Arrestor helps to increase the quantity of emitted charges, once the Armour Arrestor gets fully charged, a very powerful upward streamer with high charge density and of longer length is then released from the tip of the Armour LPR which couples with the downward coming streamer from lightning at a very high distance from the structure to be protected. Hence as the length of the upward streamer is longer, the area protected by Armour LPR rod is also larger.

Product Details:

Single Air Terminal Lightning Arrester is more commonly used in the utility sectors mounted on top of the transmission towers. These kind of arrestors are available in conductive metals such as Copper, Aluminium and GI solid rods with a pointed spike at one end of the rod. The length and the diameter of the rod can be customised as per the requirement.
