When Conductivity Has to Come from the Material Itself

For a hospital roof, a data center or a plant that can't afford a shutdown the choice of lightning arrestor is a risk decision. A pure copper lightning arrestor is made from 99.9% copper so its conductivity and corrosion resistance belong to the metal throughout, not just to a surface layer.
Challenges with Lower-Grade Arrestors
An arrestor made from an impure alloy or a coated base metal can look identical on the roof. It may pass a check yet carry current less efficiently and corrode faster once rain, heat and polluted air go to work on it. The shortfall shows up during a real strike.
