Surge protection system is designed to absorb voltage spikes caused by electrical storms (or out-of-spec utility power), and effectively allow the surge to bypass power wiring and your equipment. Modern technology has progressed to the point where detecting and preventing surges has become an exact science. Many insurance companies now insist on custom designed office surge protection systems. Where does a surge come from? The major of electronics damage from surge is caused by lightning strikes. The most damage is often not caused by direct lightning strikes, but is the result of transient voltage and current surges induced on power, telecommunications or RF transmission lines by the strong electromagnetic fields created during a lightning strike. Other common causes of power surge are the operation of high-power electrical devices, such as elevators, air conditioners and refrigerators by switching on-off compressors and motors. What is surge protection? These are devices whose purpos...

  It's important that your property, contents and personnel are protected from the dangers of lightning at all times. Whether you are building new premises for your company or your existing building needs a lightning protection upgrade, we are the experts who can design, install and maintain a comprehensive lightning protection system.

Thunderstorms can be quite fascinating and likely to be watched. The rapid flashes and the growling sound is a thrilling experience for many. However, there is no bigger menace to our everyday life than lightning. It has proved to be one of the most disastrous and fatal occurrences. Lightning is the process of discharging  electrical charge  in the clouds. The energy released produces a series of light, heat and a very strong sound; with enough capacity to damage buildings, kill humans, blow up trees and impair electrical equipment. A single bolt of lightning can generate up to 200,000 amps of electrical energy, making a threat of fire from a direct strike or indirect surge a serious concern for any industrial facility. Thus it is critical that any outdoor structure, whether temporary or permanent, have a  lightning protection system  installed. Benefits it offers to business: -   Saves investments: it's much cheaper to invest in a lightning protection system as...

  Lightning seems like the ultimate “act of God”. Unpredictable, capricious – it can come as a literal bolt out of the blue. Thus basic  lightning safety tips  can and do save lives. Following are a few very simple precautions: Outdoors: -   Look for a concrete shelter or a closed vehicle -    Never use a tree as a shelter -    Avoid areas that are higher than the surrounding landscape -    Keep away from metal objects and bodies of water including pool, lakes, etc -    If you’re in a crowd, spread out -    If the lightning is about to strike, crouch down and cover your ears -    Victims of  lightning strikes  should be administered CPR immediately Indoors: -   Stand clear from electrical appliances and windows -   Unplug TVs, stereos, computers immediately after hearing the first  thunderstorm -   Avoid contact with water, and piping including sinks, baths, and faucets -  ...

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,...
