Before leaving the factory, each OPR’s electronics is tested using a high voltage generator to ensure its performance and ability to conduct lightning discharges. The enviable reputation of ABB OPR is earned through maintaining consistently high manufacturing quality. These advancements reinforce ABB’s leading position in active lightning protection, with over 200000 installations worldwide.
This OPR range delivers improved performance in early streamer initiation and propagation, and represents further progress in terms of lightning protection, operating autonomy and ease of maintenance. In ongoing collaboration with the CNRS (French National Research Organization), ABB continues to innovate and has developed a new generation of lightning protection devices – the OPR early streamer emission (ESE system).
