Vertical Air Terminal Rods, also known as Franklin Rods confirming to IS/IEC 62305-3 are designed to protect structures, exposed equipment (Solar PV System, Towers etc.) from Direct Lightning Strikes. They are made-up of Copper Bonded/Stainless Steel Solid Rods. For Better Contact with the Down/Interconnecting Conductors, Pressed Terminals are provided. It Comes with Nylon Insulated Base which provide proper Insulation and Separation with the supporting structure.
