Lightning Surge Protection Devices For Every Mission-Critical Industry
Lightning surge protection devices are an indispensable part of lightning protection for electronic equipment. Its function is to limit the instantaneous overvoltage of the power line and signal transmission line to the voltage range that the equipment or system can withstand, or to discharge powerful excess lightning current into the ground. The most reoccurring cause of surge is lightning. During a lightning storm, it may strike somewhere near a power source and affect the voltage running through it. When a lightning surge hits an electrical system, it damages the devices connected to it, resulting in a loss of efficiency. 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.
