1 LPI Direct Strike Products STORMASTER ESE Air Terminals

2 22 LPI STORMASTER ESE Key Benefits Complies to standard NF C Tested in high voltage laboratory. Easy to install. Cost effective. Product Description The LPI Stormaster ESE range of terminals provides a safe and efficient system for the protection of your facility from direct lightning strikes. The LPI Stormaster ESE terminal captures the lightning energy at a preferred point. The energy is conveyed to ground via a downconductor(s). When the energy enters the dedicated lightning earth, it is safely dissipated without risk to personnel and equipment. The Stormaster ESE range of terminals have been fully tested in accordance with NF C in a high voltage laboratory. Stormaster ESE Principles The Stormaster Early Streamer Emission air terminal uses the naturally occurring electrical field to complete the timely release of an upward leader. This process provides for a safe and efficient method of controlling dangerous lightning energy at a preferred point. As a thunder storm gathers overhead the ambient electrical field surrounding the Stormaster ESE begins to rise in voltage. Upon the approach of a down leader towards the protected area there is a rapid increase in the electric field which initiates the triggering of an upward streamer from the Stormaster ESE terminal. The concept of earlier streamer emission allows for a larger or enhanced area of protection to be provided by the Stormaster ESE in comparison to a conventional rod. With the release of the upward streamer from the finial tip earlier than other competing structural points, the Stormaster ESE terminal becomes a preferred point for the capture of the lightning discharge within the protected area. Certified Performance As one of the leading companies in the field of lightning protection, LPI has invested heavily in field and laboratory testing as part of its on-going commitment to research and development. Throughout the product development of the Stormaster ESE terminals the proto-type models were subjected to intense testing under high voltage conditions. Following further refinements the Stormaster terminals were subjected to final testing by an independently accredited test laboratory which completed testing in full compliance with the French National Standard NF C The final testing on the Stormaster ESE terminals showed effective performance as defined in the French National Standard. The objective of the testing under NF C is to obtain a statistical result between a single reference rod and the ESE terminal, whereby a time difference is obtained between the two and by definition, a triggering time advance ( T) is calculated. Safety margins are applied to the measured values in order to provide a conservative measured result. Commercial in Confidence Document: 36 TD Stormaster.pub Version: /09/2009 Copyright 2009 LPI 2

3 3 Protection Performance The protection radius (Rp) of a Stormaster ESE terminal is calculated using the following formula as defined by the French National Standard NF C (July 2005) The following key parameters determine the calculation of Rp. T as established during the test. Stormaster-ESE-15, T (µs) = 15 Stormaster-ESE-30, T (µs) = 30 Stormaster-ESE-50, T (µs) = 50 Stormaster-ESE-60, T (µs) = 60 h = actual height of Stormaster terminal above the area to be protected (m). D (in m) depends on the selected level of protection specified in annex B of the standard NF C Level 1 protection, D = 20m Level 2 protection, D = 45m Level 3 protection, D = 60m LPI Product Range SECTION PAGE LPI PRODUCTS A 9, 10 LPI STORMASTER ESE TERMINAL B 11 LPI UPPER TERMINATION KIT C 11 LPI FRP SUPPORT MAST D 12 LPI INLINE COUPLING E 12 LPI GUY KIT F 13 LPI GUY RING G 13 LPI LOWER MAST ASSEMBLY H 13 LPI SADDLES FOR CANTILEVERING MAST I 14 LPI U-BOLT J 14 LPI HIGH VOLTAGE SHIELDED CABLE / LPI COPPER TAPE AND STRANDED CABLE K 15 LPI CABLE TIES L 15, 16, 17 LPI SADDLES AND FIXINGS M 17 LPI BEAM CLAMP AND CABLE SUPPORT N 17 LPI LIGHTNING STRIKE RECORDER O 18 LPI LOWER TERMINATION KIT P 18, 19 LPI EARTHING SYSTEM Q 19 LPI INSPECTION PIT R 20 LPI GROUND RESISTANCE IMPROVEMENT POWDER Commercial in Confidence Document: 36 TD Stormaster.pub Version: /09/2009 Copyright 2009 LPI 3
