Early Streamer Emission Lightning Rod


Fully Certified in accordance to NF C 17 102:2011
Based on the most recent scientific research outcome, Indelec introduces the
PrimeR® , the first tip electronic variation technology-powered Early Streamer
Emission Lightning rod.

Tip shape and lightning rod capabilities correlation


Lightning research has established that lightning rod performances, when submitted
to an intense Electrical field-as per thunderstorm conditions – are deviating to a large
extent, depending on their tip shapes:
■ A rounded tip delays the corona effect outbreak
■ A sharp pointed tip triggers an upward leader more efficiently as soon as the
ambient electric field increases, sign of a risk of lightning strike

The perfect shape at the right time


An artificially rounded tip will initially prevent the emergence of immature corona
pulses. This maintain a clean environment favouring the lightning discharge process.
In a second step, the highly-amplified sharp tip triggers corona pulses in line with the
electrical field evolution i.e. Once the E Field development can support the propagation
of the upward leader. This “blunt to sharp” tip shape construction provides the perfect
shape to trigger a timely upward leader. The PrimeR® Daringly innovative design is
based on this concept.

New unique and patented Technology:


The tip configuration electronic variation
The Primer® working principle is the electronically controlled variation of the tip shape:
an auxiliary high voltage is applied on a ring surrounding the tip, distorting the
electric field lines. The behaviour of the rod goes from a rounded tip-alike geometry to
a sharp one. The lightining rod optimum efficiency is ensured by the synchronisation
of its operation with the natural phenomenon. The auxiliary circuit is fully autonomous
and powered by the increasing atmospheric electric field. It comes into action short
before the lightning discharge. This design consolidates the benefits of both tip shapes:
the corona effect development is constantly controlled with a round tip geometry that
switches to a sharp-type, ensuring ideal conditions for the upward streamer emission
development, under mature atmospheric electric field conditions.
