You cannot. Iridium is a very rare and expensive metal. You could not afford a lightning arrester made of iridium.

Who invented lightning arrester?

Lightning arrester or lightning rod is a rod paired with a conductor. The lightning arrester was invented by Benjamin Franklin in the late 1749.


What is MCOV rating for lightning arrester?

It is Maximum Continuously Operated Voltage to select the rating of Surge arrester or lightning arrester.


Is thunder lightning arrester and thunder arrester same?

Thunder and lightning go hand in hand and basically it is the same arrester that works for both. Yes. Thunder lightning arrester and thunder arrested are the same.


How does lighting arrester working?

A lightning arrester (or lightning rod) works by providing a low resistance path to earth. This directs a lightning strike down the side of a building instead of it spreading through the electrical system.


How the voltage arrester works?

The voltage arrester works by conducting when there is enough voltage to turn it on. Often, an arrester on a primary distribution circuit has a spark gap to ground, so that lightning strikes are limited in voltage, protecting the circuit. Other types of arresters, such as MOV's, can be used in surge protectors.

What is lighting arrester?

It is a device used on power systems above 1000 volts to protect other equipment from lightning and switching surges.


What are five types of surge arrester?

There five types of surge arrester: 1. Rod gap arrester 2. Horn gap arrester 3. Protector tube or expulsion type 4. Thyrite lighting arrester 5. Gapless arrester or metal oxide arrester


What is passive device?

A passive device is a component that does not require power to operate. A lightning arrester on high voltage lines would fall into this category.


What is the functional difference of wave trap and lightning arrestor?

OK, basically there are two types of arrester , namely Direct arrester (Lightning arrester) & indirect lightning arrester (surge arrester). Direct arrester are copper rod of 5 to 6 feet long used to protect the structure, building, etc. It has pointed shape at the end to make current density at tip maximum and the bottom part is properly grounded. Indirect lightning arrester are those used in parallel to the equipment to protect them from sharp increase of voltage. It has an gap which make a short circuit path for current to flow to ground when a high voltage is applied or induced across it. For an example, if the lightning falls on the transmission line away from transformer. the heavy current flow through the transmission line to the transformer. If a lightning arrester are not installed in parallel to the transformer, transformer may get burn. Note here lightning is indirect for transformer.
