Lightning rods usually consist of three main parts, namely the receiving end, the conducting cable, and the grounding end. The receiving end is a pointed part made of metal that is installed on the ridge of the housing. The conductor cable is the cable that connects the receiving end to the grounding end. The grounding end is the part that is connected to the ground or other metal object that can transmit electric current.<\/p><div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_82_2 counter-hierarchy ez-toc-counter ez-toc-grey ez-toc-container-direction\">\n<div class=\"ez-toc-title-container\">\n<p class=\"ez-toc-title\" style=\"cursor:inherit\">Daftar isi<\/p>\n<span class=\"ez-toc-title-toggle\"><a href=\"#\" class=\"ez-toc-pull-right ez-toc-btn ez-toc-btn-xs ez-toc-btn-default ez-toc-toggle\" aria-label=\"Toggle Table of Content\"><span class=\"ez-toc-js-icon-con\"><span class=\"\"><span class=\"eztoc-hide\" style=\"display:none;\">Toggle<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-icon-toggle-span\"><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" class=\"list-377408\" width=\"20px\" height=\"20px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\"><path d=\"M6 6H4v2h2V6zm14 0H8v2h12V6zM4 11h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2zM4 16h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2z\" fill=\"currentColor\"><\/path><\/svg><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" class=\"arrow-unsorted-368013\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"10px\" height=\"10px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" version=\"1.2\" baseProfile=\"tiny\"><path d=\"M18.2 9.3l-6.2-6.3-6.2 6.3c-.2.2-.3.4-.3.7s.1.5.3.7c.2.2.4.3.7.3h11c.3 0 .5-.1.7-.3.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7zM5.8 14.7l6.2 6.3 6.2-6.3c.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7c-.2-.2-.4-.3-.7-.3h-11c-.3 0-.5.1-.7.3-.2.2-.3.5-.3.7s.1.5.3.7z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a><\/span><\/div>\n<nav><ul class='ez-toc-list ez-toc-list-level-1 ' ><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-1\" href=\"https:\/\/diringkas.com\/en\/what-is-the-purpose-of-installing-a-lightning-rod-for-home\/#Purpose_of_Installing_a_Lightning_Protection\" >Purpose of Installing a Lightning Protection<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-2\" href=\"https:\/\/diringkas.com\/en\/what-is-the-purpose-of-installing-a-lightning-rod-for-home\/#Benefits_of_Installing_a_Lightning_Protection\" >Benefits of Installing a Lightning Protection<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-3\" href=\"https:\/\/diringkas.com\/en\/what-is-the-purpose-of-installing-a-lightning-rod-for-home\/#Types_of_Lightning_Protection_on_House_Ridges\" >Types of Lightning Protection on House Ridges<\/a><ul class='ez-toc-list-level-3' ><li class='ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-4\" href=\"https:\/\/diringkas.com\/en\/what-is-the-purpose-of-installing-a-lightning-rod-for-home\/#Conventional_lightning_rod\" >Conventional lightning rod<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-5\" href=\"https:\/\/diringkas.com\/en\/what-is-the-purpose-of-installing-a-lightning-rod-for-home\/#Electrostatic_lightning_rod\" >Electrostatic lightning rod<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-6\" href=\"https:\/\/diringkas.com\/en\/what-is-the-purpose-of-installing-a-lightning-rod-for-home\/#How_to_Choose_a_Lightning_Arrester\" >How to Choose a Lightning Arrester<\/a><ul class='ez-toc-list-level-3' ><li class='ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-7\" href=\"https:\/\/diringkas.com\/en\/what-is-the-purpose-of-installing-a-lightning-rod-for-home\/#Types_of_lightning_rods\" >Types of lightning rods<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-8\" href=\"https:\/\/diringkas.com\/en\/what-is-the-purpose-of-installing-a-lightning-rod-for-home\/#Lightning_rod_distance\" >Lightning rod distance<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-9\" href=\"https:\/\/diringkas.com\/en\/what-is-the-purpose-of-installing-a-lightning-rod-for-home\/#Lightning_protection_quality\" >Lightning protection quality<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-10\" href=\"https:\/\/diringkas.com\/en\/what-is-the-purpose-of-installing-a-lightning-rod-for-home\/#Price_of_lightning_rod\" >Price of lightning rod<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/li><\/ul><\/nav><\/div>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Purpose_of_Installing_a_Lightning_Protection\"><\/span> Purpose of Installing a Lightning Protection<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2><p> The purpose of installing a lightning rod on the ridge of a house is to divert the electric current produced by lightning to the ground, so that it does not damage the house or cause a fire.

However, lightning rods cannot guarantee 100% protection from lightning, because there are other factors that influence the possibility of a strike, such as weather, location and building conditions. Therefore, apart from installing a lightning rod, house residents must also take other precautions, such as not using electronic equipment during heavy rain, not being near windows or doors, and not touching metal objects.<\/p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Benefits_of_Installing_a_Lightning_Protection\"><\/span> Benefits of Installing a Lightning Protection<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2><p> The benefit of installing a lightning rod is to reduce the risk of loss due to lightning strikes. With a lightning rod, the electric current from a lightning strike will be diverted to the ground and not enter the house. This can prevent fires, short circuits or explosions which can harm property or life. Apart from that, lightning rods can also increase the feeling of security and comfort for house residents during the rainy season. <\/p><figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" data-src=\"https:\/\/diringkas.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/penangkalpetir-4-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-6137 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/diringkas.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/penangkalpetir-4-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/diringkas.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/penangkalpetir-4-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/diringkas.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/penangkalpetir-4-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/diringkas.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/penangkalpetir-4.jpg 1280w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1024px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 1024\/576;\" \/><\/figure><p> However, not all houses need to install lightning protection. There are several factors to consider before deciding to install a lightning rod, such as location, height, area and type of building. In general, it is advisable for houses that are located in highland areas, close to volcanoes, or frequently hit by lightning to install lightning protection. Likewise with houses that are more than 10 meters high, have an area of more than 100 square meters, or are made of flammable materials such as wood or bamboo.<\/p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Types_of_Lightning_Protection_on_House_Ridges\"><\/span> Types of Lightning Protection on House Ridges<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2><p> There are several types of lightning rods on house ridges, including:<\/p><h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Conventional_lightning_rod\"><\/span> Conventional lightning rod <span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3><figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" data-src=\"https:\/\/diringkas.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/penangkalpetir-5-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-6138 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/diringkas.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/penangkalpetir-5-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/diringkas.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/penangkalpetir-5-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/diringkas.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/penangkalpetir-5-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/diringkas.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/penangkalpetir-5.jpg 1280w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1024px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 1024\/576;\" \/><\/figure><p> A type of lightning rod that uses a metal rod as the receiving end of a lightning strike.
