Tungsten Copper Lightning Rod, The Patron Saint Of Tall Building

As we all know, lightning is enormously destructive, it produces a powerful current. According to research, the most common linear lightning has a current intensity of tens of thousands to 200,000 amps. Lightning can also cause extreme high temperatures, which can easily lead to forest and house fires. Therefore, in thunderstorms, we often see some towering trees being knocked down by lightning, and some buildings were damaged by lightning. But there are also some buildings that are safe and sound.

These towering trees are also heavily charged by the induction of clouds with a large amount of charge. When there is too much charge accumulated in the tree, the tree will be knocked down. A building that was damaged by lightning strikes was caused by the lightning rod not being properly operated due to its failure to install a lightning rod or incorrect installation method. In the same situation, some buildings are safe and sound, thanks to lightning rods, such as tungsten copper lightning rod, which can protect buildings or tall trees from lightning strikes.

Tungsten copper lightning rod is used as a device to protect buildings or tall trees from lightning strikes. Install it on the top of the protected object and connect it to the underground venting net with a wire that meets the specifications. It is made of tungsten-copper alloy material, which combines the advantages of metal tungsten and copper metal. It has high melting point, high hardness and resistance to burning, and has good electrical conductivity, thermal conductivity, high temperature resistance and anti-adhesion. Tungsten-copper material is also a kind of instantaneous high-temperature material, which can withstand high temperature and high stress, and has a short working time. It takes a few seconds to 200 seconds to complete the task, so it is better to use it to make a lightning rod, and the tungsten copper rod has a high surface finish. High precision, low loss, beautiful appearance and use.

During thunderstorms, a large number of negative ions in the air collide with each other to generate electric charges, and these negative ions are attached to relatively high objects, which are particularly prone to attract lightning. When the lightning strikes, it will bring a huge current. If a lightning protection device such as a tungsten copper lightning rod is installed at the top of a building or tall trees, lightning will discharge to the lightning rod, and then through the grounding down conductor and grounding device, and then the lightning current will be introduced into the earth to achieve lightning protection effect, thereby being protected. The object is protected from lightning strikes.

Tungsten copper lightning rod have three types of lightning strike tungsten copper lightning rods, special tungsten copper lightning rod and pre-discharge tungsten copper lightning rods. Xiaobian hereby introduces the specific use of these lightning rods in order to achieve the best lightning protection effect. Direct lightning strike tungsten lightning rods can be applied to banks, military bases, gas stations, petrochemical warehouses, station terminals and other buildings. Special tungsten copper lightning rods are suitable for higher building buildings, such as radio and television towers, beacons, astronomical meteorological stations, communication base stations, radar rooms and other important places. The pre-discharge tungsten copper lightning rod can discharge when the intensity of the lightning electric field increases to a certain extent, the protection radius is larger, the lightning current pulse intensity at each flashing is reduced, and the secondary effect caused by lightning induction is reduced, so the conventional It is safer than a lightning rod.

Thunderstorm days, if you are just outside, you must stay away from a wide or higher place, such as an open-air parking lot, sports ground, roof, ridge, and mountaintop. In addition, do not stay in the place where the lightning rod and its down-conductor and the metal leakage are leaking, such as under the telephone booth, under the street lamp, under the high-voltage electric wire, etc. You can be in a deep cave in a building with lightning protection, but don't touch the wall, you have to kneel and keep your feet closed. If you can't find a suitable lightning protection site, be sure to remove the metal accessories, your feet and squat, and turn off the communication tools such as mobile phones.
