Why Choose the ABB PULSAR 30 Stainless Steel Early Streamer Emission Air Terminal?
The ABB PULSAR 30 STAINLESS STEEL is an Early Streamer Emission (ESE) air terminal designed for use as the interception element of an external lightning protection system. Installed at a suitable elevated position on a structure, the PULSAR 30 is intended to capture lightning strikes and provide a controlled path for lightning current through correctly designed down conductors and an earth termination system.
Manufactured from stainless steel for durability in exposed outdoor environments, the PULSAR 30 provides an advance time of 30 µs. This ESE characteristic is used together with the air terminal installation height and required lightning protection level when determining the protected area of a correctly designed lightning protection system.
The ABB PULSAR 30 is intended for professional external lightning protection applications on commercial, industrial, infrastructure and other structures where an ESE air terminal is specified. The product is supplied under ABB order code 2CTH030002R0000.
Key Advantages
- Early Streamer Emission air terminal for external lightning protection systems.
- 30 µs advance time for the PULSAR 30 model.
- Stainless-steel construction for durability in exposed outdoor environments.
- Designed to provide a lightning interception point above the structure being protected.
- Protection area can be determined according to installation height and the required lightning protection level.
- Suitable for commercial, industrial and infrastructure lightning protection applications.
- Designed for integration with appropriate down conductors and an earth termination network.
- Part of ABB's dedicated external lightning protection product range.
Key Features
- ABB PULSAR range.
- Early Streamer Emission (ESE) technology.
- 30 µs advance time.
- Stainless-steel construction.
- External air terminal for direct lightning protection.
- Designed for elevated installation above the area requiring protection.
- Forms part of a complete lightning interception, down-conductor and earthing system.
- Suitable for permanent outdoor installation.
Early Streamer Emission Lightning Protection
An Early Streamer Emission air terminal is installed above the structure or area requiring lightning protection and is designed to initiate an upward leader earlier than a conventional reference air terminal under the prescribed ESE test conditions. The 30 µs advance time of the ABB PULSAR 30 is a key parameter used when determining the protection radius in accordance with the applicable ESE lightning protection design method.
The PULSAR 30 is the interception component rather than a complete lightning protection system by itself. Effective protection requires appropriate positioning and mounting of the air terminal together with correctly specified down conductors, equipotential bonding and an effective earth termination network. System design and installation should therefore be completed by suitably qualified lightning protection professionals in accordance with the applicable requirements.
Typical Applications
- Commercial building external lightning protection.
- Industrial facilities and manufacturing sites.
- Warehouses and logistics facilities.
- Infrastructure and utility installations.
- Public and institutional buildings.
- Large residential and mixed-use developments.
- Structures requiring an Early Streamer Emission lightning interception system.
- Outdoor installations requiring a durable stainless-steel air terminal.
