摘 要
本文報告一種新穎的提前放電避雷針（early streamer emission air terminal, ESEAT）在高壓實驗室進行模擬雷擊測試其效能，並且與傳統避雷針（classical air terminal, CAT）進行實驗對照。經由測試結果，ESEAT在實驗室中所能攔截的人工閃電的效果明顯優於CAT閃電防護裝置，在實驗室模擬的雷擊閃電接閃的數據說明了ESEAT失效的機會僅有CAT的1/10。ESEAT雷擊防護裝置在實驗室環境下的測試表明其有效性優於CAT。
關鍵詞：避雷針、提前放電式避雷針
Abstract
In this article, the performance of a novel early streamer emission air terminal (ESEAT) used as lightning protection device has been tested under laboratory conditions simulating lightning strikes and compared with a classical air terminal. (CAT) The test results show that the ESEAT has a greater ability to capture artificial lightning in the laboratory than the CAT. Based on the data on failed artificial lightning captures, the failure rate of the ESEAT is approximately 1/10 of that of the CAT. These findings confirm the effectiveness of the new ESEAT in a controlled laboratory environment.
