    Lightning protection system

    Early streamer emission air terminal

    OPR Early streamer emission air terminal


    The OPR efficiency (T)
    Lightning is one of the most spectacular
    meteorological phenomena. Generated
    by the interaction of clouds elements
    (water and ice), it can kill, injure and
    damage. The unique efficiency of the
    OPR Early streamer emission is based
    on the difference (T), measured in a
    laboratory, in between the emission
    time of the OPR and the one from a
    simple rod. The OPR ESE air terminal is
    composed of a striking point connected
    to a down conductor to conduct the
    lightning to the ground.
    Complete autonomy
    During a storm the ambient electric field
    may rise from 600 V to 10-20 kV/m.
    When the electric field reach this level
    representing a minimum risk for a lightning,
    the OPR begins to get activated and
    generates high voltage pulses, helping to
    create and propagating an upward leader.
    After a strike on the OPR, the lightning
    current is driven to ground by the down
    conductor to the earth termination system.

    Radius of protection
    The radius of protection (Rp) of the OPR is calculated according to the NFC17102
    (edition 2011). It depends on the OPR efficiency (T) expressed in micro-seconds.
    The maximum value for T is 60 s.
    The risk assessment shall be calculated according to the NF C17102AnnexA/
    IEC62305-2 and will define the protection level (LPL I, II, III or IV) which will be used
    in the determination of the OPR radius of protection.
