Lightning Rod
- A lightning rod, also known as a lightning conductor, is a metal rod used to protect a structure against lightning strikes.
- If lightning hits the building, it will strike on the rod and be brought to the ground by a wire, rather than striking the structure itself, which could result in a fire.
- Copper and copper alloys are the most commonly used materials in lightning protection.
