Early Streamer Emission Lightning Rods
Early streamer emitting air terminals are designed to emit a streamer early in the streamer-formation phase of a lightning strike, thereby becoming the preferred lightning attachment point.
As the ground charge builds immediately before the lightning strike, the ESE air terminal accumulates ground charge. In the instant before the strike, when the stepped leaders are branching down from the cloud, the ESE terminal emits a series of pulses of ground charge, forming a streamer from itself before streamers emit from other structures. Its streamer reaches the stepped leaders before competing streamers, thereby winning the competition.
Ground charge accumulation and streamer triggering may be either by air terminal PDC (non-electronic) or by electronic triggering in an electronically activated streamer emitting (EASE) air terminal. Early streamer emitting air terminals are designed to emit a streamer early in the streamer-formation phase of a lightning strike, thereby becoming the preferred lightning attachment point.

Ground charge accumulation and streamer triggering by ELLIPS air terminal and protect the entire structure and nearby areas. ESE (Early Streamer Emission) technology lightning rods which allow the user to go for only 1 lightning rod & 1 down conductor to cover more than 200 meters of area approximately.
