Description
WIN INDIA Copper Lightning Arrester C/W Base Point Air Terminal Rod System (18 Inch & 24 Inch / Light Duty & Heavy Duty) Excellent for Roof Surge Protection & Superior Security
The INDIA Copper Lightning Arrester C/W Base series delivers a complete, direct-strike air terminal solution designed to intercept lightning strikes on buildings and safely channel high-impulse surge currents toward down-conductors and grounding electrode networks.
Designed as a crucial primary line of defense in conventional structural lightning protection systems, this integrated air rod and mounting base assembly helps safeguard residential homes, commercial complexes, and industrial plants against structural damage and electrical hazards.
Crafted from high-conductivity copper and solid copper alloy (brass base), the INDIA Copper Lightning Arrester series ensures high electrical performance and durable mechanical integrity.
The natural corrosion resistance of copper allows the assembly to withstand continuous atmospheric exposure, rain, UV radiation, and severe environmental conditions when installed on roof ridges, parapets, or elevated structure points.
Key structural and functional features of the INDIA Copper Lightning Arrester C/W Base series include:
-
Integrated Base Assembly: Supplied complete with a sturdy, pre-threaded mounting base that firmly anchors the vertical air terminal rod to roof surfaces or concrete structures.
-
High Electrical Conductivity: Solid copper rod construction facilitates low-resistance current transfer during high-energy direct lightning discharges.
-
Corrosion-Resistant Exterior Protection: Built to resist oxidation and weathering, ensuring long operational lifespan in direct outdoor roof exposure.
-
Versatile Duty & Length Options: Available in 18-inch Light Duty (I-18CU-LD), 18-inch Heavy Duty (I-18CU-HD), and 24-inch Heavy Duty (I-24CU-HD) variants to meet varying building height, wind load, and structural protection requirements.
Whether installing protection systems on residential rooftops, commercial office blocks, or factory facilities, the INDIA Copper Lightning Arrester C/W Base range provides an accessible, effective air termination fitting.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q1: What is the primary purpose of an air terminal copper lightning arrester with a base?
A : It serves as the highest point of interception in a direct-strike lightning protection system.
Installed on roofs, it attracts direct lightning discharges and safely conducts the electrical energy down through conductor tapes or cables into the ground rod system.
Q2: What is the difference between Light Duty (LD) and Heavy Duty (HD) versions?
A : The difference primarily lies in the thickness/weight of the mounting base and rod wall thickness:
-
Light Duty (I-18CU-LD): Suitable for standard residential roofs or smaller commercial projects.
-
Heavy Duty (I-18CU-HD & I-24CU-HD): Engineered with a heavier, more robust mounting base to handle greater mechanical wind shear and higher thermal loads on larger or taller buildings.
Q3: When should I choose a 24-inch rod (I-24CU-HD) over an 18-inch rod (I-18CU-HD)?
A : The 24-inch rod provides additional vertical height clearance above roof fixtures, parapet walls, or rooftop HVAC units, helping extend the protective zone coverage area according to protective angle calculation methods.
Q4: Does the lightning arrester come complete with the mounting base?
A : Yes, all three order codes under WH PRODUCTS CATALOGUE_58 (I-18CU-LD, I-18CU-HD, and I-24CU-HD) are supplied as complete sets containing the copper air rod along with its matching threaded mounting base.
Q5: How is the base connected to the down-conductor tape or cable?
A : The mounting base features built-in clamping terminals or threaded entry points that allow direct attachment to copper earth tapes or bare stranded copper conductors, ensuring continuous conductivity down to the earth pit.
