Answer:
Copper is the most desired material used for making a good lightning conductor since it meets most of the conditions required for it.
Solution:
The primary aim of the material of a lightning conductor should be to dissipate the lightning surge energy easily into the ground along with compliance of safety norms, so lighting protection requires proper earthing. Hence the basic qualities required for a lighting conductor material are:
- High electrical conductivity to withstand high fault current
- Good corrosion resistance
- Low ground resistance with improved impedance
- Good electrical and mechanical strength
- Equipotential bonding
- Long durability
