Experts in Lightning Protection & Grounding solutions

We provide complete solutions for Lightning and Grounding for all projects we undertake. Our lightning & Grounding products comes from the house of CIKIT under the brand name “Armour”, which are tested &certified by renowned laboratories in India and Abroad.

Conventional Lightning Protection System

The chances of a building being struck by a lightning flash can be greatly reduced by a properly designed air termination system.
The location of the air termination system can be designed by using the most common “ Protection Angle Method “ Protection Angle Method or Cone of Protection Method is the traditional method of protecting the structures from lightning strikes.

Features And Benefits

Primary Air Terminal
  • Blunt tip – To strengthen the electric field energy at the tip of the air terminal
  • Sufficient mechanical strength
  • Higher current carrying capacity
  • High melting point
  • Long life
Secondary Air terminals made of 99.9% Electrolytic pure copper flats to capture side flashes occur during lightning events.

ESE Lightning Protection System

We install ESE Lightning Arrestor designed and developed by CIKIT which works on the principle of Early Streamer Emission type protection. ESE is an electro-mechanical device and does not require any external power Supply for its operation. The internal design of ARMOUR ESE air terminal is such a way that it stimulates upward leaders before any other object within its radius of protection.

The area protected by an ESE terminal depends upon the time difference between the streamer raised from the ESE terminal and the streamer raised from other passive objects placed at the same height. If this time difference is higher, the area protected by the air terminal will also be higher. That time difference is generally termed as triggering advance time and it is always expressed in microseconds (10-60 µs).
As per NFC 17-102, the value of ‘Δt’ should be between 10µs and 60µs. An air terminal is considered as ESEAT only if the triggering advance time is greater than 10 µs. The value of ‘Δt’ should be considered as 60µs for the calculation for all values greater than 60µs.
Based on the Triggering Advance Time there are three models of Armour ESE modules
  • Armour 25 (25 µs – Triggering Advance Time)
  • Armour 40 (40 µs – Triggering Advance Time)
  • Armour 60 (60 µs – Triggering Advance Time)
Since the Armour 60 module triggers leaders 60 µs prior than other passive objects, the upward leader can propagate to a long distance which results in a larger radius of protection than Armour 25 and Armour 40 modules.
