  2. Decades ago lightning protection system was installed to protect structures from the damage caused by lightning strikes. The objective of this protection system was to provide a preferred path for electrical charges from a lightning strike to ground itself, ensuring protection from fire and structural damage. Lightning protection is still very imperative, though with advancement in technology the method and lightning protection products have changed or modified “ considerably. https://www.lightningprotection.com/ 2

  3. There are three common approaches to structural lightning protection, loosely grouped as follows: 3 2 1 Lightning interception systems – the common Franklin lightning rod technology Lightning attraction systems – Early Streamer Emission (ESE) or Electronically Activated Streamer Emission (EASE) technology Lightning prevention systems – typically called Charge Transfer Systems (CTS) and/or Dissipation Array Systems (DAS) (DAS is our trademarked term and patented technology) https://www.lightningprotection.com/ 3

  4. Lightning interception systems – the common Franklin lightning rod technology The lightning arrester is placed at a dominant height, making it a favorable point for the lightning bolt to strike. Through the grounding system, the positive charge rises to the tip of the lightning rod. And when the lightning strikes, the device allows the lightning leader from the cloud to ground itself safely through the installed grounding system. Hence the current discharge gets distributed evenly throughout the ground and thus protects the structure. Typically the lightning protection products used are lightning rods, grounding system and conductors. https://www.lightningprotection.com/ 4

  5. Lightning attraction systems – Early Streamer Emission (ESE) or Electronically Activated Streamer Emission (EASE) technology These systems work the same way as a conventional Franklin rod system, attracting lightning to a preferred point(s), then conveying it to ground. They employ air terminal(s) that are claimed to have a larger lightning attraction or collection area than a conventional lightning rod, thereby providing a larger zone of protection. As such, fewer air terminals are required to protect any given structure. The air terminals used in these systems employ either geometry (ESE – early streamer emitting) or electronics (EASE – electronically activated streamer emitting) to trigger the formation of a streamer before natural streamers begin to form. The main difference between a conventional lightning arrester and an ESE lightning arrester is the response time taken to ground the lightning strike through the lightning protection system. The lightning protection products remain the same with a few technological changes. https://www.lightningprotection.com/ 5

  6. Lightning prevention systems – typically called Charge Transfer Systems (CTS) and/or Dissipation Array Systems (DAS) (DAS is our trademarked term and patented technology) By reducing the build-up of static electricity gradually and continuously over a wider “footprint”the Lightning Eliminator’s system prevents the concentrated build-up of energy at one point – keeping it below the threshold required for a lightning strike to occur. With a complete overhaul in technology the lightning protection products such as the strike termination devices, conductors and grounding systems are different and customized as per the requirements of the site.
