Comparison ROD vs. ESE

CONFIDENTIAL – FOR INTERNAL USE ONLY

Lightning Protection Mechanics
How Does the ESE Work?

 During thunderstorm conditions when the lightning down leader is approaching

ground level, an upward leader may be created by any surface. In the case of a
passive lightning rod, the upward leader propagates only after a long period of
charge reorganization. In the case of the ESE, the initiation time of an upward leader
is greatly reduced.

 Using internal control circuits, the ESE generates controlled magnitude and
frequency pulses at the tip of the terminal during high static fields prior to a lightning
discharge. This enables the creation of an upward leader from the terminal that
propagates toward the downward leader coming from the thundercloud.

Lightning Protection ESEAT Features & Models
 The early streamer emission air terminals (ESEAT) design requirements, protection
level calculations, and protection radius are obtained from the 2011 edition NF C 17-
102 standard
Available in models to suit
specific site requirements:
Air Terminal Structure triggering advance of 25 m/s
1. Strike tip triggering advance of 40 m/s
2. Insulator ring triggering advance of 60 m/s
3. High voltage control section

ESE - Lightning Protection Radius
The NF C 17-102 Standard

 According to NF C 17-102:2011, the standard protection radius (Rp) of ESE systems

is linked to ΔT (below), the protection levels I, II, III or IV (as calculated in EN 62305-2)
and the height (h) of the ESE terminal above the structure or feature to be protected
(defined by NF C 17-102 as a minimum 2 m).

ESE - Lightning Protection Pros and Cons
Pros Cons

 Standards compliant – NF C 17-102 System must be physically tested to

ensure circuits are still working
 Third-party inspections and
certifications available Tester unit can either be: “U1731C” or
equivalent. Clips must be large enough
 Useable with a variety of conductors to grip the 28 mm terminal.

 Large Coverage Area

 Faster upward leader initiation

 Meets applications where

conventional methods would be
cost-prohibitive The NF C 17-102 and similar ESE
standards requirements for inspection
 Fewer components and materials and testing range from each year to
required than conventional system every four years dependent upon
location and protection level selected.

Lightning Protection – System Performance Validation
An unprecedented field-validation study of the Collection Volume Method (CVM) for lightning
protection system provides new data on the importance of air terminal placement and the
validity of the CVM’s claimed interception efficiency levels

It was concluded that the actual, field-tested efficiency of a CVM based

LPS is consistent with the projected theoretical efficiency
Collection Volume Method
 Applied to 3D structures from original work of Dr A.J. Eriksson (1979, 1987)

 The CVM is simply a physically-based, improved Electrogeometric Model.

 Improved striking distance relationship:

ds = function (Ki, Ip)

where Ki is the field intensification factor near the prospective strike point (structure, structural feature or
air terminal).

Intensification of the
E-field is a function of
the geometry’s height
and degree of
sharpness

Collection Volume Method
 Collection volumes are
calculated for:
• The LPS terminals
• Competing features
(undesirable potential
strike points)

 To be a sound design,
the Collection Volumes
of the LPS terminals
need to “cover over”
those of the competing
features

Application of CVM to practical structures
 Key parameters
• downward leader charge or peak
current
• field intensification factor
• velocity ratio
• site altitude

 Example of CVM design output

• CVM takes many factors into
account, so the calculations are
relatively complex
• Software greatly facilitates
implementation
• Makes method more widely
accessible

How does it
works ?

38
CONFIDENTIAL – FOR INTERNAL USE ONLY
Dynasphere Air Terminal
 Static Thunderstorm Phase
• Charge slowly builds up on the
cloud, and thus the field is slowly
increasing (relatively static)
• Minimises Corona
• Avoids the creation of a space
charge above the terminal

39
CONFIDENTIAL – FOR INTERNAL USE ONLY
Dynasphere Air Terminal
 Dynamic Thunderstorm Phase
• Downward leader progresses
• Electric field increases very rapidly
(compared with slow increase of the
static phase)
• Voltage builds up on the dome

40
CONFIDENTIAL – FOR INTERNAL USE ONLY
Dynasphere Air Terminal
 Controlled Triggering Streamer
Phase
• Triggering arc causes upward
intercepting leader
• Need to ensure that streamers are
not launched until the electric field
conditions are an optimum for
conversion to a stable, propagating
upward leader
• The terminal trigger time is
determined by the Spark Gap size,
the Capacitance of dome, and the
Variable Impedance (product design)
• Spark Gap size - 3 different spark
gaps sizes (5, 4 & 3 mm) to suit
different building heights
