nVent is a trusted world leader for providing high-quality grounding solutions, lightning protection and surge protection technologies. By recognising the importance of an integrated lightning protection strategy, nVent has incorporated several major concepts into a Six Point Plan of Protection:
1. Capture the lightning strike
2. Convey this energy to ground
3. Dissipate energy into the grounding system
4. Bond all ground points together
5. Protect incoming AC power feeders
6. Protect low voltage data/telecommunications circuits

The products are supported by test reports, technical papers, literature and installation instructions.

nVent offers three versions of the nVent ERICO Early Streamer Emission (ESE) i-Series air terminals:

• SI25i with a triggering advance of 25 μs
• SI40i with a triggering advance of 40 μs
• SI60i with a triggering advance of 60 μs

These Early Streamer Emission Air Terminals (ESEAT) are in accordance with the 2011 edition of NFC 17-102.
The design requirements, protection level calculations and protection radius are obtained from this standard.
