Lightning Protection for Structures and Open Areas
Using Early Streamer Emission (ESE) Technology
“As in the case with anything related to the natural elements, lightning protection
systems, designed and installed in accordance with this standard, cannot
guarantee absolute protection to structures, persons or objects: however,
applying this standard will significantly reduce the risk of protected structures
being damaged by lightning.”
NF C 17-102
(Forward)
Neither the TerraStreamer
®
ESE Terminal nor any other lightning protection
system to our knowledge can provide 100% protection from lightning.
In order to provide the most effective Early Streamer Emission (ESE) Air
Terminal technology available today, Alltec TerraStreamer
®
ESE Terminals are
independently tested and certified to meet
NF C 17-102
and
UNE 21 186
standards. In addition, these modern standards have provided the applicable
information contained in this Installation Guide to correctly implement a proper
ESE system.
The
NF C 17-102
and
UNE 21 186
standards are “applicable to lightning
protection using early streamer emission lightning conductors of common
structures of less than 60m high and of open areas.”
It is recommended that
any ESE installation strictly adhere to the general and detailed contents of
the latest editions of the NF C 17-102 and UNE 21 186 standards.
Alltec has developed the TerraStreamer

product according to
internationally recognized standards. However, Alltec does not make any
specific performance guarantees as no lightning protection system can be
100% effective.
