Early streamer emission(ESE) lightening arrester

One of the newest types of lightning arrests are capacitive electronics or active lightning arrests that have a simple and yet very effective appearance. 

Active lightning arrests, which are tectology of making them air distance, are called capacitive electronic lightning arresters and are one of the most important and best equipment for protecting against the effects of direct lightning strike.

Lightning Phenomenon and its Atmospheric Conditions

lightning is 200 kaa . The frequency and intensity of lightning depends on environmental characteristics, and by having accurate information about environmental characteristics, the best and most effective type of protection can be determined.

The effects of lightning are achieved in two ways: one by direct impact and the other by indirect impact. Direct impact has dangerous consequences for buildings, humans and animals, and indirect impact causes heavy economic damage.

It’s usually by inducing overvoltage on the electrical conductors.

Under atmospheric conditions, the charges in the cloud are ionized and separated, so that negative charges move down the cloud and the positive charges go upwards or vice versa and the electrical potential in the cloud reaches about a million volts.

At the ground level, in the same conditions, this effect is caused by different polarities. The electric field between the lower part of the cloud and the ground surface becomes very intense and an electrical discharge is created, resulting in a downward current.

When this discharge reaches the surface, it creates a positive upward charge. When these two currents collide, the discharge circuit is closed and a discharge current between 10 and 200kA is produced.

Lightning protection should protect all available points of the building and its duty is to prevent direct lightning strikes to the structure and discharge the lightning current to the ground.

To install these points should be considered: placing lightning on the relevant base – using one or more intermediate conductors – a test clamp for each intermediate conductor to measure ground resistance – separate ground system for each intermediate conductor – also potential of earth systems.

By using capacitive electronics technology and creating a wider umbrella than passive lightning arrests, direct lightning strikes on the structure can be prevented by installing a lightning terminal and is much more economical than passive lightning arrests.
