Lightning Protection Systems

  Surge Protection  Devices (SPDs) have become increasingly important in recent years and has got wide presence across industries. Costly electronic equipment, which is sensitive to voltage peaks on the supply, are now found in all offices and factories, including highly- sensitive data processing, telecommunication and computer networks that form the backbone of worldwide communications structures without which, no company can survive. Machines and production lines are monitored and controlled by electronic equipment programmed for specific purposes. Why is SPD an integral part of an LPS? Lightning  protection and mains systems both deal with electricity. However, the parameters that the two handle are unique. The former focuses on incredibly high currents and swift rising impulses. On the other hand, mains power offers a consistent electricity supply. Normally, it has an alternating current at a much lower voltage and a very low frequency as well. This is so it can power the applianc
