Where is the lightning rod in particular?

Answer:

In advance, the LDY series lightning rod is mainly absorbed and stored by the exciter from the electric field of nature. The reflector and the lightning arrester tip are in good electrical connection with the ground and are in equipotential state. It is usually under the conditions of excitation electric field strength between the device and the reflector, when lightning occurs before the electric field strength will increase rapidly, roughly equivalent to the difference between the thundercloud and the earth potential excitation potential between reactor and reactor, the voltage drop between them increased rapidly will cause the tip ignition, and the ionized air around the tip the formation of tip discharge phenomenon. The electric field between the central collector of the lightning rod and the exciter EX0l TERS increases rapidly, causing the air ionization at the tip to discharge in a very short and accurate time
In a thunderstorm, building over charged clouds, lightning and are at the top of the tall building on a large number of induction charge, due to lightning needle is pointed, so the electrostatic induction, the tip conductor always gathered the most charge, so the lightning rod gathered most of the charge. The lightning rod also forms a capacitor with these charged clouds. Because of its sharp tip, the two plate of the capacitor is facing a small area, and the capacitance is very small, that is to say, it can hold very little charge. And it brings together most of the charge, so when there is more charge on the clouds, the air between the lightning rod and the cloud is easily broken down and become a conductor. Thus, the electrified cloud layer forms a passage with the lightning rod, and the lightning rod is grounded, and the lightning rod can lead the charge on the cloud to the ground, so that it does not pose a danger to the high-rise building and ensures its safety.
What's special about a lightning rod?:The lightning rod is pointed and grounded by conducting wire.
