SN Engineering — Lightning Protection, ESE Arrester & Chemical Earthing Manufacturer (As per IEC/IS Standards)
SN Engineering is a leading Indian manufacturer & supplier of Lightning Protection Systems (LPS), ESE Lightning Arresters, Chemical Earthing Electrodes, Ground Enhancement Material, SPDs, and Power Safety Products—designed and tested as per IEC 62305, IS/IEC 62561, IS 3043, IS 2309 and global electrical safety norms.
🏗️ 1. LIGHTNING PROTECTION SYSTEM (LPS) — TECHNICAL DETAILS
📘 Standard Followed: IEC 62305 (Part 1–4)
IEC 62305 specifies:
✔ Risk Assessment (IEC 62305-2)
Includes calculation based on:
Lightning density (Ng)
Collection area of structure
Probability factor
Consequence factor
Economic loss factor
✔ Protection Levels (LPS-I to LPS-IV)
| Protection Level | Efficiency (%) | Typical Application |
|---|---|---|
| LPS I | 98% | Data centers, airports, explosive zones |
| LPS II | 95% | Factories, hospitals, schools |
| LPS III | 90% | Warehouses, commercial buildings |
| LPS IV | 80% | Residential buildings |
⚡ 2. ESE (EARLY STREAMER EMISSION) LIGHTNING ARRESTER – TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS
📘 Standard Followed: NFC 17-102 / UNE 21186 / IEC Draft Norm
✔ How ESE Works
An ESE Arrester generates an upward leader early compared to a normal rod which increases the radius of protection.
✔ Triggering Advance Time (ΔT)
Typical values supplied by SN Engineering:
ΔT = 20 µs / 40 µs / 60 µs / 80 µs
✔ Protection Radius Calculation
Based on annex guidelines:
Rp = √(2 × h × D – D²)
Where:
Rp = Protection radius
h = Height
D = ΔT × 10 (in meters)
Example:
ΔT = 60 µs → D = 60×10 = 600 m
Height (h) = 10 m
→ Rp ≈ 107 m (approx. large coverage)
