Lightning Surge Protection Devices To Prevent Equipment Damage In The Long Run
Surge protection refers to protecting systems and electrical devices against excessively high voltage peaks caused by switching operations and lightning strikes. An effective lightning protection strategy combines internal and external lightning protection. To protect your system's power supplies, data, and signals, use the reliable lightning surge protection solutions available in our various product ranges as part of your internal lightning protection strategy. Lightning surge protection devices limit the magnitude of overvoltage transients to prevent equipment damage. While the cause and prevention of surges have been known for some time, the proliferation of semiconductor devices in recent years has made SPDs a necessity in industrial facilities. A surge protection device functions in three ways: It prevents voltage spikes from stressing electrical equipment It ensures that the surge current flows away from the equipment It prevents secondary, induced voltages (created from th
