The main function of ESE Lightning protection system installed on the existing buildings is to capture a
lightning stroke and then conduct discharge current safely to the ground. In some conditions, however the
ESE lightning system is the only possible method to protect from direct lightning strokes. Due to the
arguments ,mentioned above, we recommend to use the active lightning protection whenever the
conventional solution is inconvenientor when the former preferable to the latter as in the case of the
efficient protection of architectures & electrical system.
The lightning discharge is initiated by so called down conductor which creates an ionized air
path (downwards or upwards) between the cloud and the ground for the necessary flow of any lightning
currents.
