ESE Lightning Arrester VS Conventional Arrester - Differences in Functions & Applications Explained

In this video, we have explained the clear difference between the ESE Lightning Arrester and Conventional Lightning Arrester by understanding their working.

Why are Lightning Arresters used?
To protect structures and electrical systems from Lightning Strikes, Lightning Arresters are mandatory. These Lightning Arresters defend the power system by forwarding high voltage surges to the ground.

They provide a low impedance path when the travelling wave of lightning reaches a certain level and gets grounded without affecting the structure.

ESE Lightning Arrester:
The key purpose of using the ESE Lightning Arrester is to become the fast conductive point of discharge for the lightning bolt & ground current safely. Hence instead of hitting random objects or the structure of the facility, the lightning bolt will conduct through the ESE lightning arrester and the high voltage spike will get grounded safely.

Conventional Lightning Arrester:
The Conventional Lightning Arrester consists of Franklin Rods. Their effectiveness is decided based on their position, morphology, materials used, and physical reaction that is performed due to the electrostatic field during the lightning.
