Hey Alexander, We are working on a detailed blog for this topic, the link of that blog will be shared here within a week. Please let me know if you have any further queries.
Hey, ESE Lightning Arrester’s objective is to become the point of discharge for the lightning bolt, instead of the bolt hitting a random object such as a solar panel or the side of the building. By becoming the point of discharge, the electricity can be safely conducted into the ground using the entire lightning protection system, protecting the structure or solar park.
@@AxisElectrical yes I know that I mean to become the point of discharge it should have the opposite charge of the clouds. How does it always get the opposite charge of the clouds and not the same as the clouds
@@amrmansy470 Inside ESE there is an electronic circuit, that stores the charge on the Air Terminal based on the ionization of the air. Hence this is how it always gets the opposite charge of the clouds.
Hi, i watched the video but no explanation how it works... before the strikes occur yes, there is a huge potential between ground and clouds but what charges the capacitors? Another power for it inside? Or just magically appears those charges??? Let's assume we collect it somehow, how to set trigger time for discharge the capacitors? Does it happen before the strike hit the rod? At the same time? After it? I'd like to install these ESE rods on my animal yard but its seems not clear explanations 😕
An ESE lightning arrester consists of two main components: an air terminal and an ion generator. The air terminal is connected to the ground, while the ion generator remains at atmospheric potential. Under normal atmospheric conditions, the ion generator is in standby mode. However, during thunderstorms, the generator is activated by the strong electric field generated by the approaching downward leader. The ion generator contains an electropulsing device, which emits electrical impulses that ionise the air around the tip of the air terminal. This ionised area grows much faster than with a standard lightning rod, due to the electromagnetic fields stored in the components of the electropulsing device. The ionised area favours the formation of an upward leader, which progresses continuously towards the downward leader, forming the discharge path. The ESE lightning arrester is designed to work autonomously. It is also capable of enduring extreme environmental conditions, making it a reliable solution for lightning protection. The operation of an ESE lightning arrester can be summarised in the following steps: 1. Standby Mode: Under normal atmospheric conditions, the ion generator is in standby mode, and the charge is neutral in every area. 2. Precontrol State: When storm conditions initiate, the ion generator gets activated and remains in precontrol state. The electropulsing device starts emitting electrical impulses, creating a strong concentration of charges at the surface of the air terminal. 3. Streamer Emission: As the downward leader approaches, the strong increase in the electric field triggers the main function of the electropulsing device. The device uses the accumulated energy to pump positive charges into the ionised area, provoking a streamer effect. 4. Upward Leader Formation: The streamer emission favours the formation of an upward leader, which progresses continuously towards the downward leader. 5. Lightning Discharge: The point where the upward leader meets the downward leader becomes the discharge path for the lightning strike. The ESE lightning arrester, being the point of origin of the upward leader, becomes the receiver of the lightning strike. It's important to note that the principles and operation of ESE lightning arresters are subject to specific standards, such as NF C 17-102:2011. Compliance with these standards is crucial to ensure the effectiveness and safety of the lightning protection system.
I apologise, I forgot that this video does not go into the working mechanism of the ESE. I have tried to answer your question in the comment above. I hope that helps. This video below is also has a brief explanation on the working mechanism. th-cam.com/video/067M2aMToOg/w-d-xo.html
An Air Terminal Rod or Lightning Arrester is a generic term for air termination in an external Lightning Protection System. This Air Terminal could be Conventional (Franklin Rod) or ESE depending on the requirements of the project.
Can you suggest suitable lightning arrester for farm resort, approximate area 300 mtrs X 100 mtrs. Wherein there is no tall structure except water storage tank tower located roughly at the centre (length wise) and at the edge width wise ie 100mtrs. Thank you.
As per your reply to my comment on your video,about my enquiry, I had mailed Aniket on 25th June, still awaiting a reply, please do so at the earliest. Thank you.
A more appropriate video for me now as I'm looking for installing a solar panel in my roof. I would like to understand if I should go for a franklin rod or ESE arrester. I have a roof area of 13 ft x 19 ft and I'm initially planning to install a 1Kw (2x 535W panels). Eventually over next 3 - 4 years, I plan on increasing it to 4 Kw. (535*8 panels) My overall space around my building till compound is 4 feet at the back of the roof and 2 feet / 3 feet on either side. Would it be ok to have a earthing done in the 4ft space such that it wouldn't damage the building or the panels? Please share your inputs.

What is inside the ESE Lightening arrester? If it is some electronic component, then won't it be damaged during lightning?. If the parts inside the ESE Lightening arrester is damaged by lightning, then it would act only as a conventional rod . Then it is no use on spending that much money, i can simply go for multiple conventional rods.I have read about failure of ESE Lightening arrester and caused damages to properties. Please explain.
Thank you for your interest! Axis ESE Lightning Arresters are tested as per NFC 17-102 hence we can assure complete safety. Any part inside the arrester won’t be damaged during lightning nor would it act like a conventional rod. In case you have any further doubts/questions regarding ESE & Conventional Arresters please connect with our Lightning Protection Experts at anita.k@axis-india.com or sales@axis-india.com.
This is a good question and it was also taken to the Karnataka High Court by the Lightning Protection India Association (LPIA) . The High Court decided in favour of LPIA that the ban on ESE was not proper and that it is up to the customer to decide if they want to use it. Why was it banned? It could have been because of lobbying by certain companies who did not sell the product.
Hi, I am interested to buy lightning arrestor for my home.. how can i buy these? Do you have any facility to install this at my home? I live at kerala. Also, could you assit me with all the components needed to install the lightning arrestor?
