Product catalog summary

Overview

The document discusses the Early Streamer Emission (ESE) Air Terminal, a specialized lightning protection device designed to improve the interception of lightning strikes by emitting an early streamer.

Specifications

  • Functionality: The ESE air terminal generates an upward leader earlier than conventional rods, increasing the protected area.
  • Design Parameters: Typically includes a sharp tip and internal electronics to trigger the early streamer.
  • Materials: Constructed from corrosion-resistant metals to ensure durability and reliable performance.

Standards and Norms

  • The device must comply with international standards such as IEC 62561-1 and NF C 17-102, which define testing and performance criteria for lightning protection systems.
  • Certification by recognized bodies is essential to validate the effectiveness of the ESE air terminal.

Installation Procedures

  • Placement at the highest point of the structure to maximize protection radius.
  • Proper grounding is critical to safely dissipate lightning current.
  • Regular maintenance and inspection schedules are recommended to ensure ongoing functionality.

Performance and Limitations

  • The ESE air terminal can increase the protection radius compared to conventional rods, but effectiveness depends on correct installation and environmental factors.
  • Limitations include sensitivity to environmental conditions and the need for precise calibration.

Recommendations and Best Practices

  • Use certified devices and follow manufacturer guidelines strictly.
  • Integrate the ESE air terminal within a comprehensive lightning protection system including grounding and surge protection.
  • Conduct periodic testing to verify operational status.

Summary of Key Data

Tables and diagrams in the document illustrate protection radii comparisons, installation schematics, and performance test results, highlighting the improved interception efficiency of ESE terminals over traditional rods.

EARLY STREAMER EMISSION AIR TERMINAL TECHNICAL DATA SHEET EARLY STREAMER EMISSION AT WEIGHTED EARLY STREAMER EMISSION AT according to NFC 17-102 SECURITY COEFFICIENT GROSS WEIGHT The early streamer emission AT can be defined as the average gain in streamer emission time of the ESE air terminal (ESEAT) compared to a simple rod air terminal (SRAT) measured in the same conditions. AT is measured in a High Voltage Laboratory according to the NFC 17-102 Ed. 2011 Standard. The level of protection is given using the NFC 17-102 Edition 2011, EN 62305-2 or UTE 17-108 guide. If the site presents a risk for the environment, the protection radius must be reduced of 40%. For a level of protection I++ (cf.5.2.3.5 NFC 17-102), the protection radius must be also For a site subject to a lightning risk, it is necessary to carry out a lightning risk analysis (NFC 17-102, EN 62305-2 or UTE 17-108), then to define via a lightning technical study the specifica- The implementation of the necessary protections is done in accordance with the Standards of Initial or periodic verifications made it possible to supervise the evolution of the protection devices against lightning and to ensure the protection of the people and the goods.
