Lightning rod with priming device
ADVANCE+
The ADVANCE+ lightning rod with priming device (ESE) is the best protection with the latest technologies incorporated and the best guarantee of operation. This device has successfully passed the tests based on the UNE 21186, NFC 17102, and NP 4426 standards for lightning rods with a priming device:
☑️ DIMENSIONALS
Ensures that the dimensions are normalized.
☑️ SALT FOG AND SULFUROUS HUMID ATMOSPHERE
Certifies resistance in corrosive environments.
☑️ CURRENT (200kA – 10/350 µs)
It guarantees the operation after several impacts.
☑️ ADVANCE IN PRIMING
Guarantees the protection radius.
DOCUMENTS
TECHNICAL DATA
As a result of the research carried out and the R&D projects developed, the ADVANCE+ lightning rod incorporates the following new technologies:
☑️ EAC – STABILIZATION OF ADVANCE IN PRIMING
The dual-energy block allows achieving a maximum deviation of 5% in the advance time based on the product certification regulations.
☑️ DSF – DEIONIZATION BY FORCED BLOWING
It allows deionization by the Venturi Effect of the ionization vault, releasing a large amount of hot air at the moment of a lightning strike, expelling the carbon produced in the deflagration.
☑️ AAA – WATER INSULATION ASSURANCE
It allows the PDC electrodes to be isolated, maintaining their potential difference at all times in extreme rain conditions due to electron displacement. By having a dual-energy block, the load of the main system is ensured.
☑️ AAE- ELECTRICAL ARC LENGTH
It avoids the deposition of highly conductive carbon on the PDC electrodes, maintaining its potential difference and avoiding self-discharge of the energy block.

The ESE ADVANCE+ guarantees the operation of its priming device and its effectiveness in protection in extreme rain conditions thanks to the «ISOLATED RAIN» system.
This system guarantees total isolation in adverse atmospheric conditions provided by the ELECTRODE IONIZATION VAULT. This vault prevents the rain from putting the metal body of the lightning rod (at atmospheric potential) in electrical contact with the metal shaft (at ground potential).
When an ESE does not have this insulation guarantee and adverse atmospheric conditions occur, such as heavy rain, electrodes with different potentials can come into contact and cause a short circuit in the ignition device that prevents the lightning rod from offering the necessary safety, drastically reducing your radius of protection.
The installation of the ESE ADVANCE+ must be carried out following the indications of the Technical Building Code (CTE) and standards UNE 21186, NFC 17102, and NP 4426 «Protection against lightning: lightning rod with priming device». See installation guide
All models of the ESE ADVANCE+ have successfully passed the tests based on current regulations. The results of the laboratory test were much higher, but by regulation, we certify the following advance times:
