The document discusses lightning protection systems. It provides details on lightning formation, including the high voltages, currents, and temperatures involved. It compares the traditional Indian lightning protection standard using angular coverage to the newer European standard using early streamer emission (ESE) rods that provide radius protection over a larger area. The ESE system allows for increased protection distances of up to 107 meters compared to 30 meters for the traditional standard, and provides manufacturing warranties and lower maintenance needs. Installation details of an ESE system are also outlined.
