WHAT IS TELTRON LIGHTNING ARRESTER?
The principle of operation is to create an upward propagating streamer earlier than
conventional air terminals or other objects on the earth. TELTRON LIGHTNING ARRESTER does this by
collecting and storing ground charge during the initial phase of a thunderstorm development.
- Thunderstorm begins creating downward step
leaders. - Ambient electric field intensity in the area of
the terminal increases. - Terminal is triggered to release the stored
ground charge. - Upward streamer is formed microseconds
earlier than other objects in the immediate area. - The TELTRON LIGHTNING ARRESTER terminal
becomes the target of the developing lightning
strike.
