ESE Lightning Protection System Model – 65

Earthway Technologies LLP is a leading ESE (Advanced Early Streamer Emission) lightning protection system manufacturer.

It protects against lightning strikes, which can cause the generation of fault currents with the potential to damage electrical equipment and pose risks to human life. Lightning strikes can damage electrical systems and pose risks to human life.

Our Benefit

Working Principle of ESE Lightning Protection System Model - 65

01

Atmospheric Electric Field

The system works by responding to the electric field intensity of the atmosphere, which drives electric currents in the charged environment.
02

Ion Generators Charging

The electric atmosphere conditions the interior of the system, ensuring the ion generators charge with these electrical currents.
03

Ionization for Conductivity

The ion generators ionize the surrounding atmosphere, enhancing conductivity and promoting rapid charge and discharge cycles to safely guide lightning strikes to the ground.
04

Thunderstorm Electric Field

During a lightning storm, the electrical charges in the cloud and the concentration of negative charges create a large electric field between the cloud and the earth's surface.
05

Electric Field Calculation

The electric field value, which ranges from 5kV/m to 30kV/m, is based on the concentration of charge in the thunderstorm clouds.
06

ESE Concept for Early Emission

The ESE system triggers an upward streamer earlier than traditional rods, effectively controlling the emission of the streamer for enhanced lightning protection.

Some Key Points About lightning protection system

01

Purpose

The main goal is to prevent lightning strikes from causing damage to structures, electrical systems, and human life by directing the electrical charge safely into the ground.
02

Importance of Proper Grounding

A properly designed grounding system ensures that the lightning energy is safely discharged into the earth, preventing electrical damage and fires.
03

Surge Protection

In addition to the physical LPS, surge protection devices are installed to protect electrical circuits and sensitive electronic equipment from voltage spikes caused by lightning strikes.
04

Maintenance

Regular inspection and maintenance of the LPS are critical to ensure its functionality. Components should be checked for corrosion, damage, and proper connection to the grounding system.
05

Effectiveness

An LPS significantly reduces the risk of lightning-related damage, but it does not guarantee complete protection. Its effectiveness depends on proper design, installation, and maintenance.
06

Risk Assessment

A risk assessment is often performed to determine the necessity and extent of lightning protection based on the structure's location, height, and usage, along with environmental factors like lightning frequency in the area.
