Overview
ESE (Early Streamer Emission) lightning arresters launch an upward streamer earlier than a passive rod, giving each terminal a substantially larger protection radius. This lets a single, well-placed terminal protect large buildings, plants, towers and warehouses with fewer down conductors and less rooftop clutter. Supplied as a complete system — air terminal, mast, down conductor and earth pit — and designed to NFC 17-102 / IEC 62305, ESE systems are ideal where wide-area structural protection is needed efficiently.
Frequently asked questions
How does an ESE lightning arrester work?
An Early Streamer Emission air terminal launches an upward streamer earlier than a passive rod, giving each terminal a larger protection radius so a single terminal can protect large structures.
What standard do ESE systems follow?
ESE systems are designed to NFC 17-102 / IEC 62305 and supplied as a complete system — air terminal, mast, down conductor and dedicated earth pit.
