What is the use of a lightning arrester?

A lightning arrester or surge arrester is a device used to protect homes, buildings and power lines from dangerous power surges. As you might expect, the main defense is to protect against lightning and the damage it can cause, however, residential arresters can also protect against power surges from other sources.

How does a lightning arrester work?

1. You might think of lightning rods. You're not that far off. But lightning rods are actually limited in comparison and not that useful in use. The real difference, though, is simple: a lightning arrester is charged and "works" as it works, whereas a lightning arrester merely attracts and diverts incoming lightning.

2. arresters are usually installed near critical equipment or entrances, such as electrical panels or generators. When there is a potentially dangerous lightning strike, the arrester activates and diverts the lightning to the ground, where it will spread harmlessly. It is important to note that arresters do not stop lightning. It does limit and reduce the charge, but the accurate term is "transfer" because it gives the lightning a safe route instead of going through your vital electronics. Think of it as a detour for dangerous electricity.

What is the ideal location for a lightning arrester?

1. The arrester should be placed near the equipment it protects. It is usually connected between the ground and phase of an AC system and between the ground and pole of a DC system. In addition, the AC system contains a separate arrester in each phase.

2. Surge diverters are installed in an over voltage AC arrangement to shield generators, busbars, circuit breakers, lines, transformers, and other components. In addition, there are various types of arresters to protect different power systems. The choice depends largely on several common factors. The list includes line frequency, voltage, weather conditions, reliability and cost.

3. To determine the perfect surge arrester for your home, contact an experienced electrician. They can also install components efficiently without any security risks.
