Can a lightning rod be painted?

2016-09-27View Original

Thread Content

Our company has a separate lightning rod, and since it needs to be moved, it will have to be repainted after being lowered. Do you think it’s possible to paint it? Lightning rods are originally made by welding galvanized round steel.

It shouldn’t be possible, right? The resistance value changes after painting, which is not conducive to the gradual release of charge.

No. Paint has a certain insulating effect; it cannot conduct electricity well, which can be very dangerous

From a working principle perspective, it cannot be hacked.....

Will rusting affect its performance? ? ? ?

The upper part can’t be brushed, but the base is fine
