More properly Lightning arrestor, not resistor, which would be a circuit component. this is a safety device required by electrical codes(which amount to laws) to be used on all radio transmitter stations but particularly ham stations. the device protects the equipment from lightning strikes and damage. This is an external component that only works when needed like a safety valve on a boiler to relieve pressure.

How tall is a lightning rod?
it doesn't have a fixed length, as long as a rod is "grounded" connected to the ground by a heavy duty wire, it's a lightning rod. . .
Can thunder beat fire?
Thunder doesn't beat fire; rather, thunder and lightning are caused by the rapid expansion of air due to the intense heat of a lightning strike. In nature, fire and lightning can either work together to create more devastation, or one may extinguish the other, depending on the circumstances.
Do scientists have devices to minimise the impact on lightning?
Lightning rods have been used on barns and the older, taller houses for a good long time. They are still used on taller structures. There are now devices to short lightning-induced current to ground on communication wires entering a house or other structure. New,improved grounding systems have been devised in the last 5 years. By the way, lightning rods are meant to continually drain off the static electricity in the air that, if it built up, could become a lightning bolt. Radio towers have the same beneficial effect.
A storm that produces lightning is a?
A storm that produces lightning is called a thunderstorm or a lightning storm. Lightning can be stationary or move around.
What are some catchy lightning brochure titles?
"Illuminate Your World: Exploring the Power of Lightning" "Crackling Creations: The Mysteries of Lightning Revealed" "Bolt from the Blue: A Journey into the World of Lightning" "Electric Vibes: Unraveling the Wonders of Lightning"
Who is the main character of the story The Lightning Thief?
Percy Jackson is the main character in 'Percy Jackson And The Lightning Thief' if that's what you meant.
What is three similies for The Lightning Thief?
Three similes are lightning robber, bolt bandit, and bolt thief. Hope these help but not sure if you meant from the book or just in general.
What is meant by the term natural hazard?
wild fires caused by natural causes like lightning
What is meant by the power rating of a resistor?
A: RATING is a term to describe the capabilities of any components active or passive to perform as designed. Power of a resistor must be rated to safely dissipate within its own power rating
What is meant by RC coupled amplifier?
an amplifier, where the resistor and capacitor get coupled to provide high oscillations hence by which amplifications increases at high degrees
What is the difference between resistor and metrosil?
A resistor is a passive two-terminal electrical component used to introduce resistance in an electric circuit. Metrosil is a type of resistor that is specifically designed to protect electrical equipment from overvoltage and lightning strikes by rapidly switching to a high resistance state when a voltage surge is detected. Essentially, Metrosil is a specialized type of resistor with specific protective properties.
What does the word blitkrieg mean?
The direct translation from German is "lightning war." In practice, it meant a rapid assault by an overwhelming force.
Which resistor is the beat conductor 150 or 600?
We're guessing that you meant to type "best", that you typed "beat" instead, and that you then didn't take the trouble to proofread your own typing. A resistor with a lower resistance is the better conductor. The resistance of a perfect conductor is zero ohms.
How to know if the resistor is open and shorted?
I assume that the person asking the question meant "open OR shorted" as these are opposite terms. Most resistors will open when they are damaged. It is very rare to find one that is shorted. To determine if the resistor is open or shorted simply use a multimeter set to measure ohms. Place the leads across the resistor and it should read the resistance value of the resistor. If it measures max range of the meter (some digitals will display "OL") then the resistor is open. If it measures 0 or very close then it is shorted, which as mentioned above, is unlikely.
Is Light dependent resistor an example of resistor?
yes, a variable resistor
How tall is a lightning rod?
it doesn't have a fixed length, as long as a rod is "grounded" connected to the ground by a heavy duty wire, it's a lightning rod. . .
Who was tlaloc?
He was the Aztec god of rain/hail and lightning. His name meant "He who makes things sprout". He was a malicious god. He isn't really real!!!!!!!!!!
