Know How of Surge Protection Devices

-

 A power surge is a sudden and unwanted increase in voltage that can damage, degrade, or destroy electronic equipment. Surges can originate from electric utilities or lightning or other electric faults.

A low-voltage surge protective device (SPD) limits transient voltages by diverting or limiting surge current and SPDs are a cost-effective solution to prevent downtime, improve system and data reliability, and eliminate equipment damage caused by transient voltages and surges for power and signal lines.


Is surge protection right for you?

Are you experiencing damage to electrical, electronic or communication equipment due to power surges or transient voltages?

Or is there a risk of damage occurring due to an unstable power supply or lightning strike?

If your answer to any of the above question is affirmative, then Surge protection device is a necessity.


When selecting an SPD for any given application, there are several considerations that must be made:

Application – to ensure that the SPD is designed for the zone of protection for which it will be used.

System voltage and configuration - SPDs are designed for specific voltage levels and circuit configurations. 

Let-through voltage - This is the voltage that the SPD will allow the protected equipment to be exposed to.

 

Types or class- of SPD:

 Type 1 arresters are generally installed in the service entrance

Type 2 SPDs should be fitted to all the distribution panels that serve critical equipment.

 

However, the need for lightning surge protection devices depends on numerous factors. Each product is developed by a team of experienced engineers with the aim to solve specific problems faced by industry.



Apart from providing surge protection devices we also give consultancy services such as:

-  Cost-effective lightning and surge protection designs for any structure, facility or site in all industries

-  Proven, methodical approach based on the “lightning protection pyramid

-  Quantitative assessment of need for surge protection via calculations


Our protection systems can be trusted to help prevent fires, structural damage to buildings and catastrophic failure of sensitive electronic, computer and telephone systems.

 

Since the safety and economic consequences of temporary or permanent failure of industrial equipment cannot be tolerated, protection devices should be installed on critical power circuits.

Installing a lightning surge protection device from Lightning Eliminators & Consultant Inc. ensures security of your company data, employees and facility during an unpredictable electrical surge, as well as ensures continued function of critical systems.

The Importance Of Maintaining A Lightning Rod Protection System

-
Lightning rods must undergo periodic inspections and maintenance, as indicated by national and international regulations. These periodic inspections allow the detection of deviation from reference standards or anomalies in the installations caused by environmental conditions such as corrosion, incorrect handling or expansion of the building where the lighting rod protection is installed.  Maintenance of an effective lightning rod protection system is essential due to the following: -    Efficiently dissipate heavy fault currents and electrical surges, both in magnitude and duration, to protect equipment being damaged so as to minimize downtime, service interruptions and replacement costs -    Provide a stable reference for electrical and RF circuits at the installation to minimize noise during normal operations -    Protection of personnel who work within the area from dangerous electrical shocks For a lightning rod protection system to work optimally, each and every part needs to be i

Lightning Protection Products You Never Knew You Needed

Dissipation Systems are designed to prevent lightning strikes. These refer to devices using point discharge phenomena to retard and reduce the potential of lightning strikes on their protected devices. Choosing the appropriate lightning protection products for a specific application requires several performance issues to be considered, such as the radius of the dissipater electrode cross-section, the construction material of the dissipater, the number and density of electrodes, and the configuration of the dissipater on the structure it is designed to protect.  The Dissipation Array System (or DAS) is a lightning prevention system. Well, it doesn’t prevent lightning from happening altogether, but it does prevent lightning from striking the protected structure. There is a lot of detail on how it does this, but the simple version is that it lowers the electrostatic field in the protected zone. This prevents upward-rising lightning leaders (or streamers) from being created on the pro

  We are Pioneers in: ·          Lightning Protection System ·          Chemical Earthing Installations ·          Lightning Surge Protection Devices Let’s talk about our patented lightning surge protection devices . The term surge protection device (SPD) describes electrical devices typically installed in power distribution panels, process control systems, communications systems, and other heavy-duty industrial systems, for protection against electrical surges and spikes, including those caused by lightning.  When clean, uninterrupted power is crucial, LEC’s next-generation surge protection devices are ready to provide the highest level of performance for the safety and reliability of your electrical systems. These devices are able to accomplish two tasks for protection, i.e., surge voltage in terms of amplitude needs to be limited and discharge of the surge voltage to the ground, which is done without causing any damage to the devices.  Lightning Surge Protection Devic
