Lightning rod

A lightning rod or lightning conductor is a metal rod or metallic object mounted on top of a building, electrically bonded using a wire or electrical conductor to interface with ground or earth through an electrode, engineered to protect the building in the event of lightning strike. If lightning hits the building it will preferentially strike the rod and be conducted to ground through the wire, instead of passing through the building, where it could start a fire or cause electrocution.

A lightning rod is a single component in a lightning protection system. Lightning rods are also called finials, air terminals or strike termination devices. The lighting rod requires a connection to earth to perform its protective function. Lightning rods come in many different forms, including hollow, solid, pointed, rounded, flat strips or even bristle brush-like. The main attribute of all lightning rods is they are conductive.

Copper and its alloys are the most common materials used in lightning protection. 

MEGATRO is professional for design and fabrication of every type lightning rod for our clients. We often adopt steel rod, copper alloy, stainless or other material to produce the lightning rod. In Chinese market, MEGATRO lightning rods are widely installed in buildings, and on ground for organization, government, and companies.

MEGATRO also produce steel spike as lightning rod for our overseas telecom operator such as NOKIA, ERISSON, RAMBOLL, JARLSO, GE and so on.
