Description
WIN INDIA Aluminium Lightning Arrester C/W Base Point Air Terminal Rod System (18 Inch / Order Code: I-18AL) Excellent for Rooftop Direct-Strike Protection & Outstanding Quality
The INDIA 18″ Aluminium Lightning Arrester C/W Base (Order Code: I-18AL) offers a lightweight, high-performance direct-strike air terminal solution engineered to capture atmospheric lightning discharges and safely route heavy electrical surges toward down-conductors and ground electrode systems.
Serving as a primary line of defense in structural lightning protection systems, this integrated air rod and mounting base kit helps shield commercial buildings, industrial facilities, residential roofs, and telecommunication structures from structural damage and electrical fire risks.
Manufactured from high-grade, corrosion-resistant aluminium alloy, the I-18AL system provides reliable electrical conductivity combined with a high strength-to-weight ratio.
The natural protective oxide film of aluminium ensures durability against severe outdoor elements, UV rays, and heavy rainfall without premature rusting or structural degradation.
Additionally, its lightweight design reduces roof structural load and makes handling during installation at elevated heights significantly easier.
Key structural and functional advantages of the INDIA 18″ Aluminium Lightning Arrester C/W Base include:
-
Complete Air Termination Assembly: Features an 18-inch (approx. 450mm) tapered pointed air terminal rod pre-threaded directly into a heavy-duty cast aluminium mounting base.
-
High Atmospheric Corrosion Resistance: Engineered specifically for direct exposure on elevated rooftop parapets, ridges, metal roofs, and exterior building structures.
-
Integrated Conductor Clamp: The mounting base incorporates built-in clamping points that securely lock aluminium earth tapes or stranded aluminium conductors, ensuring low contact resistance.
-
Metal Compatibility: Ideal for installation on aluminium roofing, metal cladding, or zinc-coated structures where copper air rods might trigger galvanic corrosion.
Whether installing protection across commercial facilities, residential properties, or industrial roofs, the INDIA I-18AL Aluminium Lightning Arrester C/W Base provides a cost-effective and dependable lightning interception solution

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q1: What is the primary function of the INDIA 18″ Aluminium Lightning Arrester C/W Base (I-18AL)?
A : It acts as the highest interception point in a lightning protection network. Installed at high points on a building, it attracts direct lightning strikes and channels the electrical current safely down through conductors into the earth rod network.
Q2: Why choose an aluminium lightning arrester instead of a copper one?
A : Aluminium lightning arresters offer several advantages:
-
Weight & Cost: They are lighter and more economical than copper units while delivering excellent conductivity.
-
Metal Compatibility: They prevent galvanic corrosion when installed on aluminium roof sheets, metal cladding, or when paired with aluminium down-conductor tapes.
Q3: Does the I-18AL arrester come complete with the mounting base?
A : Yes, the order code I-18AL includes both the 18-inch aluminium air terminal rod and its matching cast aluminium mounting base as a complete, ready-to-install set.
Q4: How is the arrester mounted on a roof or parapet?
A : The cast aluminium base features pre-drilled fixing holes. It can be anchored directly to concrete parapets, brickwork, or metal roof structures using standard stainless steel fixings or bolts.
Q5: How is the down-conductor connected to the base?
A : The mounting base includes an integrated clamping mechanism. The down-conductor tape (e.g., 25mm x 3mm aluminium tape) or stranded wire is inserted under the clamp plate and tightened with fasteners to maintain low contact resistance.
