spark gap lightning arrester

An arrester  type that is now obsolete  is the spark gap lightning  arrester. When  lightning strikes, it can equal a massive surge of  electricity that can lead to fires and explosions or  grill electrical equipment. The arrester essentially works by creating  a safe path for the  lightning to follow, directing it toward the ground rather than allowing it to run through your home  or business. This is really important,  because it’s  what  helps  keep people  and property safe during storms. At  Telebahn, we know the importance  of keeping your systems protected from lightning, which is  why we offer top-of-the-line  spark gap lightning  arresters for  all that you need. For enhanced protection, consider our Telebahn AC SPD 4P 275V 320V 385V 20kA -40kA KEMA T2 3 Phase TN-S Surge Protective Device.

What is a Spark Gap Lightning Arrester and How Does It Work?

For  eg, a spark gap lightning arrester is constructed with two  pieces of metal  points, lying very  close  to one-another. When you get lightning, electricity is jumping all around  those grounded rods  and a spark forms. This discharge provides a  path of least resistance for the lightning to reach the earth  in safety. It is  typically mounted in high places, such as roofs or high towers, where lightning is more likely to strike. When a storm is near, the arrester is in position to do its job. When the building is hit by lightning, that  arrester kicks into action and becomes a path for the energy to flow. That way, the dangerous electricity does not enter the building or disrupt any electrical systems. It’s a superhero for your home! It  is important to realize that these devices can degrade over time and particularly so if they see a lot of lightning strikes. So it is important to monitor them and change them  when less functional. When game hunting is the order of  the day, you can trust that our spark gap lightning arresters are built tough and work well to  offer  top quality protection. They are useful for houses, schools, factories and even communication towers that must be  protected from lightning. Know How They Function  Knowing how these appliances work  can give  you an idea of their worth and significance especially during stormy seasons.
