Early Streamer Emission (ESE) air terminals provide exceptional lightning protection for industrial sites, homes, public buildings, monuments, and open-air locations like sports grounds. During a storm, ESE air terminals generate an upward leader that connects with the downward leader from the cloud, offering faster and more reliable protection than conventional single rod air terminals. This efficiency, confirmed by high-voltage laboratory testing, ensures superior safety by reducing the risk of lightning strikes.
Lightning and surge arrestors are vital components in safeguarding electrical systems and equipment from damage caused by lightning strikes and power surges. These devices efficiently divert excess electrical energy, preventing it from reaching sensitive appliances, machinery, and infrastructure. By quickly dissipating dangerous voltage spikes, lightning and surge arrestors help maintain system integrity and protect against costly downtime and repairs.
Strip conductors are essential components in lightning protection systems, designed to efficiently and safely dissipate electrical currents generated by lightning strikes. These conductors consist of flat metal strips strategically installed along surfaces such as roofs or walls, providing a low-resistance pathway for lightning energy to travel safely to the ground. By dispersing electrical charges effectively, strip conductors help minimize the risk of damage to structures and equipment during thunderstorms, ensuring enhanced safety and reliability.
Our consultation and design services cater to your specific lightning protection needs, offering tailored solutions for optimal safety and efficiency. Our expert team works closely with you to assess your requirements, analyze potential risks, and develop customised lightning protection strategies.
