electronic equipment, irreversible damage may be
produced. In a world where buildings and equipment are more complex every
day, lightning is a constant hazard. One discharge can damage
buildings and cause failures in electronic equipment. It can even
provoke fire and lead to serious financial losses.
The capacity of an installation to provide sufficient protection against lightning protection is guaranteed by compliance with all
the regulations in force.
It is highly advisable to check carefully if there are lightning protection requirements within national obligatory standards.
Other laws and codes may also apply to lightning protection. Typical cases are:
Requirements for protection of flammable and explosive areas
Work health and safety codes
Particular requirements for other high risk structures and areas, such as hospitals, campsites, dangerous industries, etc.

2 However, the formation of storm clouds creates a charge polarization: usually, the lower
part of the cloud is negatively charged, thereby inducing a positive charge in the ground
and other elements on it. The electric field formed in the atmosphere can then reach tens of
kilovolts.
This positive charge is more evident in metal objects, pointed objects and well-earthed
objects, including trees.
3 When the electric field is high enough, the cloud starts discharging towards the ground. The
path formed by this discharge is called the downward leader and produces a very sharp
variation in the electric field which affects the positive charges in the objects on the ground,
causing the corona effect.
4 One of these objects will be the one forming the upward leader, which will move towards
the downward leader thus forming the discharge path between the cloud and the ground.
This object will receive the lightning strike. The cloud charge will find the most direct path
to earth. If this path is not controlled, it could cause serious damage.

> GUIDE FOR THE DESIGN AND INSTALLATION OF EARLY STREAMER EMISSION AIR TERMINALS (ESE)
The main feature of Early Streamer Emission (ESE) air terminals is the
generation of the continuous upward leader before any other object
within its protected area. The standards define this characteristic
using a parameter called advance time (ΔT): ”Difference expressed in 3
microseconds between the emission time of an early streamer emission
air terminal and a simple rod air terminal measured in a laboratory under
the conditions defined in the reference standard.” 4 6 9
This advance time determines the protection radius of each air terminal.
If the triggering occurs earlier, then the distance at which the downward
leader is intercepted increases, thus avoiding a lightning strike in a
wider area. The advance time must be measured in a high voltage
laboratory, following the test procedure described in the ESE lightning
protection regulations.
The components for a lightning protection system using ESE air 5

INSTALLATION
First of all, a hole for the foundation has to be made (the dimensions of the hole depend of the height of
the tower).
The first section has to be embedded in the hole. Wait for the concrete to harden. The top of the concrete
foundation needs a small slope to avoid water accumulating.

AT-060F is to be installed connecting the aerial mast to the closest grounded
element of the lightning protection system. Its connecting clamp is suitable for a
APPLICATION AT-060F
wide range of conductors.
AT-004G
Reference AT-004G
Dimensions: 160 x 80 x 55 mm
Material: Polycarbonate V0
Weight: 0.6 kg
Counter: 0… 999999
DATA DOWNLOAD
See table 107
Data downloading should coincide, at least, with the revision and
periodic maintenance of the system or when the number of strikes on
the installation exceeds 30 since the last download, since the internal APPLICATION AT-004G
memory can record up to 40 events.
Software is included for download management by means of transfer
device with USB connection.
INSTALLATION
It must be installed so that the down-conductor of air terminal is on the
side nearest the electromechanical counter.
When no drill is allowed, the fixing is made by a support plate providing
a flat and sturdy surface for fixing the ATLOGGER: AT-005G with 2
bonding clamps for ¾” guard tube for cable or tape; AT-035G with 2 APPLICATION AT-005G
bonding clamps for a 1½” and AT-028G support is to be used to install
the ATLOGGER in free-standing masts.

Counter: 0… 999999
INSTALLATION
The counter installation is very simple, It merely needs to be fixed to the down-
conductor by tightening the four screws included in the support sheet, so that
the down-conductor is between both elements.
The lightning counter has been successfully tested in official and independent
laboratories. The counter has proved its effective operation and strength by
means of these tests, withstanding lightning currents (100 kA, 10/350 μs) without
suffering any damage.
