You cannot. Iridium is a very rare and expensive metal. You could not afford a lightning arrester made of iridium.
It is Maximum Continuously Operated Voltage to select the rating of Surge arrester or lightning arrester.
The chemical compound of iridium III chloride hexahydrate is IrCl3 * 6H2O. Iridium(III) chloride is an extremely rare inorganic compound.
The atomic number of iridium (Ir) is 77.The atomic weight of Ir is 192.22 grams per mole.See the Web Links to the left of this answer for a periodic table with more information about this element!
Iridium: Ir, atom number 77, mass 192.2 a.m.u.
You cannot. Iridium is a very rare and expensive metal. You could not afford a lightning arrester made of iridium.
Lightning arrester or lightning rod is a rod paired with a conductor. The lightning arrester was invented by Benjamin Franklin in the late 1749.
It is Maximum Continuously Operated Voltage to select the rating of Surge arrester or lightning arrester.
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.
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.
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.

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