INTRODUCTION TO ORBITAL TECHNOLOGY

Lightning discharges are one of the

most destructive and dangerous
natural phenomenas.
There are many atmospheric discharges during lightning storms and some of them can even reach hundreds of
kiloamperes. These electrical discharges might mean great hazard to people, animals, buildings and electronical
equipments as well. Economical consequences of Lightning strikes are also very curical and considerable. Lightning
strikes can cause huge fire. A direct lightning discharge to a person results in current flowing through the body. This
current stays a very short time on the body itself however its intensity is strong enough to provoke electrocution
which resulting in heart failure and causing burns at different degrees.

There is no ever known method of preventing

the occurrence of a lightning discharge. Yet the
purpose of a lightning protection system, therefore,
is to control the traspassing of a discharge in such
a way that prevents personal or property damages.
Providing a proper protection system should be
assessed in the early stages of the structure design.
There is no projected and dictated rules fort his,
it is possible to use broad guidelines provided by
ORBITAL to arrive at the very degree of protection
required for your buildings.

 HOW TO INSTALL?

ESE Lightning Terminals

The main feature of Early
Streamer Emission (ESE)
lightning terminals is the
generation of the constant up-
ward IONs spreading before any
other object within its protected
area. Regarded standards define
this characteristics using a
parameter called Advance time
(ΔT)”: ”Difference expressed in
microseconds between the
emission time of an Early
Streamer Emission lightning
terminal and a simple rod;
lightning terminal measured
in a aboratory under the
conditions defined in the
reference standard such as NFC
17-102/2011.

Down-Conducting
Down-conductors should
have a cross-section of at least
50 mm2.bSince lightning
current needs to be driven, flat
conductors (tape)
are preferable to round
conductors as they have a
larger exterior surface area
for the same amount of
material. Tin-plated copper
is recommended due to its
physical, mechanical and
electrical characteristics
(conductivity, malleability,
corrosion resistance and so on).
Down-conductors should be
protected by installing guard
tubes up to a height of 2 m
above ground level.

Earthing
Each down-conductor must
have an earth termination
system. Earth termination
systems should be located
outside the building, except
where this is absolutely
impossible. The resistance of
the earth termination system
measured by conventional
means must be lower than 10
Ω, when separated from other
conductive elements.

2 ZERU ESE LIGHTNING TERMINAL

GENERAL DESCRIPTIONS
ZERU Early Streamer Emission (ESE) lightning terminal can anticipate all other elements and items
within its protectable range according to its protection level radius by intercepting the lightning
strikes and conducting these strikes into the earth through the safest and projected ways. ZERU
ESE Terminal work as to principle of creating IONs by its internal ION GENERATION channels. This
structure itself allows the terminal to conduct the high voltage lightning strikes, even up to 200kA, to
the earthing system then to the earth at the safest way.

ZERU ESE Lightning Terminal is specially suitable to install for solar and wind panels,
telecommunication towers, hospitals, schools and transportation stations.
