How does TSTLP^® Early Streamer Emission Type lightning arrester work ?

Check Flash Video at http://youtu.be/wxpmdJ9BBRk

A:  The IONIZATION SYSTEM IS CHARGED - via the lower electrodes using the ambient electrical field (several thousand volts/meter when storms are approaching),which means TSTLP^® Early Streamer Type lightning arrester is a fully autonomous system requiring no external power supply.

B:  ACTIVATING THE NEW TSTLP^® TECHNOLOGY - Whilst dynamically assessing the development of the surrounding electrical field, the TSTLP^® ESE detects the appearance of downward leaders. This innovative and patented TSTLP^® ESE system is then activated to neutralize the space charges, which naturally occur around the lightning arrester. The TSTLP^® Early Streamer lightning arrester is ready to operate in an optimal environment

C:  CONTROLLING THE IONIZATION PROCESS - The ambient electrical field increases rapidly when a discharge is imminent and a downward leader decens from cloud to ground. This triggers the ionization process, using a spark ionization system between the upper electrodes and the central tip. The TSTLP^® active lightning arrester reacts at the precise moment, when the risk of lightning discharge is imminent.

D:  EARLY TRIGGERING OF THE UPWARD LEADER - The controlled ionization process and the new TSTLP^® technology guarantee the triggering of an upward leader ahead of any other protruding point within the area to be protected making the TSTLP^® advanced lightning arrester be the preferential point of impact for the lightning discharge and provides the structure with maximum protection.

PROTECTION RADIUS 

The protection radius of TSTLP^® ESE based lightning arrester is related to its height (h) relative to the surface to be protected, to its efficiency and to the selected protection level

 for h ≥ 5 m;  

and Rp = h × Rp(5)/5 for 2 m ≤ h ≤ 5 m

Rp (h) (m): is the protection radius at a given height h

h (m)       : is the height of the ESE lightning arrester tip over the horizontal plane through the furthest point of the object to be protected

r (m)        : 20 m for protection level I

                 30m for protection level II

                 45m for protection level III

                 60m for protection level IV

Δ (m) = ΔT x 10⁶

Field experience has proved that Δ is equal to the efficiency obtained during the ESE lightning arrester evaluation tests
