Early Streamer Emission Technology for Superior ProtectionUtilizing ESE technology, the AURA40 can pre-emptively trigger discharge up to 40 microseconds prior to lightning strike, providing enhanced protection for tall structures and critical installations. This proactive initiation significantly reduces the risk of damage, ensuring uninterrupted operations for years.
Robust Design and Reliable PerformanceConstructed in a compact cylindrical form with stainless steel 304, the device is engineered to endure harsh climatic conditions and high lightning currents. Its maintenance-free structure and passive energy design contribute to reliable long-term performance without complex upkeep.
Easy Installation and Broad ApplicationWith a screw terminal connection and standard size, the AURA40 is designed for hassle-free installation on rooftops, masts, or tower walls. It integrates seamlessly with copper down conductors and is suitable for single or three-phase systems, making it ideal for commercial, industrial, and utility applications.
FAQ's of AURA40 ESE Lightning Arrester:
Q: How does the AURA40 ESE Lightning Arrester function to protect against lightning strikes?
A: The AURA40 employs Early Streamer Emission technology to initiate discharge up to 40 microseconds prior to a lightning strike, directing high-energy surges (up to 200 kA) safely to earth via its down conductor, minimizing risk to infrastructure.
Q: What are the installation requirements for the AURA40 ESE Lightning Arrester?
A: Installation requires mounting the arrester at least 2 meters above the highest point on the structure, using a mast (roof or wall). A minimum 50 sq.mm copper down conductor is needed, with connection facilitated by screw terminals and copper/SS conductor connectors.
Q: When should the AURA40 ESE Lightning Arrester be considered for deployment?
A: It is ideal for use before monsoon or storm seasons, during new construction projects, or when upgrading existing lightning protection systems, especially for critical facilities such as telecom towers, solar plants, and high-rise buildings.
Q: Where can the AURA40 ESE Lightning Arrester be installed?
A: The device is designed for outdoor mounting on rooftops, masts, or towers and is suitable for installation in commercial buildings, industrial sites, solar farms, and telecom stations across varied environments in India.
Q: What is the maintenance process for the AURA40 ESE Lightning Arrester?
A: The AURA40 features a fully maintenance-free design. Its robust stainless steel build and high-grade polymer insulation ensure long-term reliability without the need for regular servicing or part replacements.
Q: How does using the AURA40 ESE Lightning Arrester benefit building owners and operators?
A: By providing efficient early discharge and robust current handling, the AURA40 greatly reduces lightning-related risks, safeguarding assets, minimizing downtime, and offering peace of mind with a life expectancy of over 20 years and efficiency above 99%.
Q: What certifications and standards does the AURA40 comply with?
A: The AURA40 adheres to international lightning protection standards NF C 17-102:2011 and IEC 62305, ensuring safety, reliability, and suitability for professional deployment in diverse electrical and structural applications.
