Lightning Arrester (Conventional Type)
3E Solutions provides both rod type as well as copper pipe lightning arrester in Jaipur and Rajasthan. Lightning is most common natural calamity causing maximum nos of deaths year on yearstill not given sufficient dilligence in installations , Projects ,Mines etc and thus cause loss of man, machines and productivity.
