Stormaster Lightning Arrester

Any facility can be protected from direct lightning strikes with the help of safe and efficient LPI Stormaster (Early Streamer Emission) range of terminals. At a preferred point, it capture the lightning energy.

Working of LPI Stormaster ESE Terminal

The Stormaster ESE air terminal makes use of naturally occurring electrical field for timely releasing an upward streamer. This is a safe and efficient process that can control hazardous lightning energy at a preferred point. The ambient electrical field surrounding it starts to rise in voltage as thunderstorm gathers overhead. As the downward leader approach towards the protected area, the electric field rises immediately and triggers an upward streamer from the Stormaster ESE terminal. The Stormaster ESE can protect larger area as compared to a conventional rod, according to the NF C 17-102 (2011). When the upward streamer is released from the finial tip, the Stormaster ESE terminal becomes an ideal point to capture the lightning discharge within the safeguarded area.

Certified Performance

The company is continually investing in the field and laboratory testing, as a part of its commitment to R&D. The proto-type models of Stormaster ESE were stringently tested under high voltage conditions. An independently test laboratory proceeded a final testing of  Stormaster ESE according to the French National Standard NF C 17-102 (2011), and the results showed effective performance as mentioned in the Standard. The company manufactures and supplies transient voltage surge suppression, direct strike lightning protection, and earthing / grounding solutions. Apart from providing preventive solutions, the company has also been providing specialist lightning protection advice to customers in the parts of the world which are more prone to lightning. The personnel take care of all stages of the system, from risk management, design, training to installation and commissioning. There is a third-party Quality Management System to AS/NZS ISO 9001:2008 maintained by the company.
