\WEIOHTED EARLY STREAMER EMISSION AT according to NFC 17-102 os
The eary streamer emission AT can be defined as the average gain in streamer emission time of the ESE sir
teminal(ESEAT) comparedto a simple rod air torial (SPAT) measurodin the same conditons. AT is measured
ina High Votage Laboratory according fo the NEC 17-102 Ed, 2011 Standard

The level of protection is given using the NFC 17-102 Ealtian 2011, EN 62905-2 or UTE 17-108
guide. Ifthe site presents a risk for the enviranment, the protection radius must be reduced of
40%, For a level of protection I++ (cf.6.2.3.5 NFC 17-102], the protection radius must be also
reduced of 40%.
For a site subject to a lightning risk, it is ne

m WORKING STEPS OF THE IONIFLASH MACH®
‘The Early Streamer Emission Ar Terminal IONIFLASH MACH® protects against all lightning strikes positive or negative,
The absence af fragile components reinforces is reliability and makes it nat vulnerable to lightning impacts, It doesn't require any remote test for
checking it functioning. An operational test procedure with two devices is available.
The IONIFLASH MACH® is quaranteed 7 years (*.

3. Increase of the electrostatic field ofthe earth,
4. Tp effect atthe top ofthe IONIFLASH MACH®.
5. Increase ofthe tip effect by the potential tips.
6. Electrostatic charge of the atmospheric electrode.
7. Breakdown ofthe principal and internal early streamer emission device.
8, Creation of the germ electron atthe top ofthe air terminal,
9. Upward leader generated,
10. Connection between upward and downward leaders (lightning strike)
11. Discharge of the lightning at the top ofthe air terminal and flow ofthe lightning current through earth electrode.

m FUNDAMENTAL RULES OF INSTALLATION
‘The early streamer emission ar terminal must imperatively be atleast installed 2 meters over the highest point of the building tobe protected
‘Two down conductors at least must be installed closest tothe air terminal fora better flow of the lightning current to the earth,
According to the NFC 17-102 Ed. 2011, the earth termination must be equal or lower than 10 ohms.
‘The two earth terminations and the electrical earth must be joined together via an equipotentiality connection,
