ALPS ESE Device
(35.5 μs, 60 μs)

Our Early Streamer Emission devices are used as they are superior to the traditional Franklin Lightning rods and have several advantages to provide a higher quality of protection. In an ESE device, there is an extra ionisation system that is activated due to the electromagnetic field built up by the storm which gives a larger radius of protection than the traditional device and attracts the lightning to the tip of the rod before the current is grounded. Our ESE systems have been fully tested to NF C 17-102: 2011 standards.

Our ESE systems have been fully tested to NF C 17-102: 2011 along with additional tests:
