A lightning conductor, also known as a lightning rod, is a device designed to protect buildings and structures from lightning strikes. It typically consists of a metal rod that is mounted on the top of a structure and connected to the ground through a conductive path. This system allows the electrical discharge from a lightning strike to safely travel to the ground, reducing the risk of fire, structural damage, and injury. Proper installation and maintenance are crucial to ensure its effectiveness in providing protection.
