We specialise in the manufacturing, supply, installation, maintenance, and repair of lightning rods and conductors.

Lightning masts, rods & conductors

Our lightning masts, rods, and conductors are designed to provide optimal protection against lightning strikes. Engineered to meet industry standards, our products ensure reliable and efficient lightning diversion, safeguarding structures from potential damage. Our lightning masts offer robust, elevated protection, while our rods and conductors facilitate the safe transfer of electrical surges to the ground. Suitable for industrial, commercial, and residential applications, our solutions are built to endure and perform in diverse environments.

Testing and assessing

We offer comprehensive testing and assessment services to ensure your lightning protection systems meet insurance requirements. Our certified experts conduct thorough inspections of lightning arresters, masts, wiring, and earthing systems to verify compliance with industry standards. We provide detailed reports and issue the necessary certificates, ensuring your property is adequately protected and your insurance needs are fully met. Whether for new installations or existing systems, our assessments guarantee peace of mind and adherence to all regulatory specifications.

ESE - Early Streamer Emission

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

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

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.

Consultation & Design

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. From initial concept to detailed design plans, we provide comprehensive support and expertise every step of the way. Whether for industrial, commercial, or residential applications, our consultations ensure that your lightning protection system is precisely tailored to meet your unique needs and specifications.

Solar Protection

Lightning solar protection ensures the safety and longevity of your solar panel systems by safeguarding them against the damaging effects of lightning strikes and power surges. Our specialised solutions include lightning arrestors, surge protectors, and grounding systems designed specifically for solar installations. With reliable protection in place, you can confidently harness solar energy while minimising the risk of costly downtime and repairs due to lightning-related damage.

Manufacturing & Supply

We specialise in the manufacturing and supply of cutting-edge lightning protection systems tailored to meet the diverse needs of industrial, commercial, and residential clients. Our comprehensive range includes lightning rods, conductors, masts, surge arrestors, and other essential components, all built to the highest quality standards for maximum reliability and effectiveness. With our expertise and dedication to innovation, we deliver solutions that ensure superior protection against lightning strikes, safeguarding lives and property with peace of mind.

Early Streamer Emission

Early streamer emission (ESE) air terminals are especially effective for lightning protection of industrial sites, homes, administrative or public buildings, monuments and open-air sites such as sports grounds.

During a storm, when propagation field conditions are favorable, an Early streamer emission (ESE) air terminal will generate an upward leader. This upward leader from the tip propagates towards the downward leader from the cloud at an average speed of 1 m/µs.

This emission of an early streamer to a lightning event delivers a beneficial triggering time compared to a single rod air terminal exposed to the same conditions. The beneficial triggering time is determined as the average time gained at the moment of spark over, with efficiency confirmed by high-voltage laboratory testing.

Made in Austria The Austrian company SCHIRTEC AG is certified to ISO 9001:2008 and ISO 14001:2004. The E.S.E. Lightning Conductor S-AS is in accordance to the NFC 17-102: 2011 and the UNE 21186: 2011 Standards. The product is made of stainless steel, which is confirmed by TÜV Austria. The discharge capacity of lightning is confirmed in the laboratory CTI Vienna

Installation ESE is simple and fast. The lightning arrester is installed on the top of the building and protects not only the building itself but also everything that is within the protective radius
