Early streamer emission air terminal
FLASH CAPTOR is an Early Streamer Emission (ESE) air terminal based on the electrical characteristics of lightning formation. The air terminal triggers the continuous upward leader before any other object within its radius of protection. This feature is referred to in the regulations as the advance time of an ESE air terminal (ΔT). The earlier the upward leader is triggered, the larger is the distance where the downward leader is intercepted, thus protecting a greater area against lightning (standards limit it to ΔT≤60 μs).
