Working Principle of TSTLP^® Early Streamer Emission lightning Arrester

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^® Active Lightning Rod 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 air terminal. The TSTLP^® ESE Lightning Rod 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^® ESE Lightning Rod 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^® ESE Lightning Conductor 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 Lightning rod 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 rod 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 rod evaluation tests

Protection of A Building 

Installation procedure for TSTLP ESE Air Terminal is governed by latest French standard NF C 17-102 and follows a series of simple rules catering for all types of structure;(Referring to installation stated in French standard NF C 17-102_2011).

①　TSTLP^® ESE lightning rod

②　Elevation pole

③　Copper conductor

④　Copper clamp

⑤　Lightning counter

⑥　Test clamp

⑦　Earth clamp

⑧　Protection sheath

⑨　Inspection housing

⑩　Copper earthing

⑪　Rod to conductor clamp

⑫　Earth rod

Protection of high rise buildings (height greater than 60 m) 

Additional protection against direct lightning strike for the highest 20% of the structure height for buildings greater than 60 m or any point above 120 m, using ESEAT or any other means must be implemented at each façade wall according to a valid standard. Furthermore a minimum of 4 Down conductors, interconnected by a ring conductor when applicable, shall be used, distributed along the perimeter and if possible at each angle of the building.

NOTE: in general the risk due to the lateral flashes is low because only a few percent of all flashes to tall structures will be to the side and moreover their parameters are a lot lower than those of flashes to the top of structures.

FAQ:

1- Which standard is the current CORE(main) standard for Early Streamer Emission Air Terminals ?

- French NF C 17-102:2011 Annexe C standard. (ESE Air Terminal is originally designed according to NF C 17-102 standard).

2- What does the standard NF C 17-102:2011 Annexe C (Clause C)  Tests include ?

- It includes General Test, Mechanical Test, Environmental Test, Electrical Withstand Current Test, Advance Early Streamer Emission (E.S.E.) Time Test for ESE lightning arrester.

3- ESEAT efficiency (ΔT)

4- The bigger Delta T (ΔT) , the wider radius protection is ? 

- Yes, if within 10μs< Delta T≤60μs. As per standard NF C 17-102:2011 Annexe C.3.5, for tested results of ΔT higher than 60μs, the early streamer emission time will be considered as ΔT= 60μs;

As Delta T( ΔT) is the KEY data for Radius Protection Calculation,  If any Manufacturer or Catalog / Datasheet / Specifications marking Delta T higher than 60μs, like 63μs or 90μs to calculate Radius Protection as their protection range, it’s NOT professional and it’s dangerous to lives & sites.  

5- What it is the maximum Radius Protection for Early Streamer Emission - ESE lightning rod (ESE Air Terminal) ? 

As the maximum permissible value for Delta T (ΔT) referring to the French/Spanish standards (NF C 17-102 & UNE 21.186) is 60μs, the maximum protection radius calculated as per given formular shall not exceed 120 meters @ Protection Level IV.

6- Which protection level is the HIGHEST Protection Level,  and which level should I choose/use ?

- Level 1 is the HIGHEST Protection Level. For detailed protection level to select, you need to do the Lightning Risk Assessment for the sites to decide, and our TSTLP Lightning Risk Assessment Tool (EXCEL format) is available for our Partners/Valuable Clients.

7- Is UL certification a must to Early Streamer Emission (ESE) Lightning Conductor ?     

--- NOT a must.  As UL does NOT have its own lab for testing ESE lightning conductor according to NF C 17-102:2011 Annexe C standard, it's just act as a third Party to watch the starting/end of the test from the manufacturer's lab instead of ILAC member accredited labs.
Besides, ILAC memeber accredited labs do NOT need any UL's inspection.(ILAC member accredited labs within the test scope of NF C 17-102:2011 standard are ALREADY an independent testing body approved by ILAC (https://ilac.org).

8- Are your Lightning Rods Certified at ILAC members accredited laboratories according to NF C 17-102:2011 Annexe C (UNE 21.186:2011 Apéndice C) ?

- Yes, our own patented TSTLP ESE Lightning Rods are FULLY & SUCCESSFULLY Tested according to NF C 17-102:2011 Annexe C standard at famous ILAC memebers (ENAC & Romania-RENAR) accredited Labs ICMET-CRAIOVA in Romania, ITE & LCOE of F2I2 in Spain - Europe.
