Why Choose the ABB PULSAR 45 STAINLESS STEEL Lightning Protection Device?
The ABB PULSAR 45 STAINLESS STEEL is a high-performance Early Streamer Emission Air Terminal (ESEAT) designed for direct lightning protection of buildings, structures and exposed installations. Identified by ABB order code 2CTH030003R0000, the PULSAR 45 forms part of ABB's Hélita external lightning protection range and uses an early streamer emission principle to provide an enhanced protected area around the installed air terminal.
The PULSAR 45 provides a 45 µs triggering-time advance (ΔT) and is designed in accordance with the principles of NF C 17-102. Its protection radius depends on the selected protection level and the height of the PULSAR tip above the area being protected, enabling the system to be engineered for a wide variety of industrial, commercial, infrastructure and public-building applications.
Manufactured from stainless steel for demanding outdoor environments, the PULSAR 45 withstands lightning currents up to 100 kA using a 10/350 µs waveform, has an IP67 degree of protection and is rated to withstand wind speeds up to 230 km/h. Environmental testing for corrosion, humidity and thermal stresses further supports reliable long-term operation as part of a correctly engineered external lightning protection system.

Early Streamer Emission Protection for Structures and Facilities
The ABB PULSAR 45 is designed to intercept a developing lightning discharge before it reaches vulnerable parts of a protected structure. Its 45 µs triggering-time advance is used with the installation height and required lightning protection level to determine the applicable protection radius. Depending on these parameters, the PULSAR 45 can provide a substantial protection zone around a correctly positioned air terminal.
As the air terminal is only one element of an external lightning protection system, the complete installation must also incorporate appropriately designed mounting, down conductors, equipotential bonding and earthing arrangements. The stainless-steel PULSAR construction, high lightning-current withstand and extensive environmental testing make it suitable for long-term outdoor service in demanding industrial, commercial and infrastructure environments.
Typical Applications
- Industrial manufacturing facilities and factories.
- Commercial and office buildings.
- Warehouses and logistics centres.
- Telecommunications and communications sites.
- Energy and utility infrastructure.
- Public buildings and institutional facilities.
- Exposed rooftop installations and structures.
- Large structures requiring an engineered external lightning protection zone.
- Sites requiring corrosion-resistant stainless-steel lightning protection equipment.
