Stainless Steel No.of Poles: 3P+N ESE Lightning Arrester

Product Details

Early Streamer Emission (ESE) Lightning Arrester offers a safe and reliable system to protect your building or solar project from direct lightning strikes. The ESE Lightning Arrester, also known as Active Lightning Arrester, provide an enhanced Radius of Protection, reducing the number of Lightning Arresters and down conductors needed for your building or solar project while still providing complete protection.Lightning Arresters is to become the point of discharge for the lightning bolt, instead of the bolt hitting a random object such as a solar panel or the side of the building. By becoming the point of discharge, the electricity can be safely conducted into the ground using the entire lightning protection system, protecting the structure or solar park.ESE Lightning Protection system is based on the time difference  T) between the emission time of a conventional lightning arrester and an early streamer emission lightning arrester, as demonstrated in high voltage testing laboratories. This emission from the ESE is generated by storing energy from the ambient electromagnetic field or static charges at the time of the lightning events. In normal conditions, the air terminal stays in standby mode. However, there is a spike in the ambient electrical field when a storm approaches the site. This spike causes the timely release of the stored energy, generating an upward leader from the tip of the ESE lightning arrester. This upward leader moves toward the downward leader from the storm clouds, creating a path for discharge. The bolt then passes safely through the conductive body of the ESE Lightning Arrester to the down conductors and finally safely into the ground, protecting the building or solar project. This working principle allows for an enhanced radius of production provided by Early Streamer Emission Lightning Arrester than by a conventional lightning rod.As per NFC 17-102, the T for an ESE Lightning Arrester should be at least 10 s  this means that the emission time of the WAT Franklin Plus ESE is at least 10??s faster than those from a Franklin Rod.Our range of??ESE products ranges from a T of 10 s to 60 s, depending on the requirements of the project. What is the Radius of Protection for an ESE Lightning Arrester The Radius of Protection of the ASLA is based on the calculations of NFC 17-102 and is dependent on the T for the ESE model and the height of the structure. The Radius of Protection required for your structure will be based on the level of protection (class I, II, III or IV) defined during the risk assessment done as per NFC 17 102 or IEC 62305-2. The maximum permissible T according to the standards is 60 s and thus the maximum Radius of Protection cannot exceed 120m for Class IV Protection. WAT Franklin Plus Lightning Arrester is composed of one main??striking point, emission device fixing element, and a connection to the down conductor. The area protected by WAT Franklin Plus is determined using the early streamer emission test method as per NFC 17 102 Standard and it is preferred to have ASLA installed on the highest part of the structure. The protected area is delineated by a surface of revolution defined by the protection radii corresponding to the different considered height h and which axis is the same as the one of the air terminal as per below figure
