  1. The Importance Of Lightning Surge Protection Devices For Your Facility

  2. Did you know that during lightning storms, transient overvoltage from lightning up to 1km away can damage electronic equipment connected to a power network? Since power surges occur across all attached components within your industrial electrical system, this means they can cause immense damage to your entire organization. Measures that act to prevent power surge damage to your critical systems and components ensure you won’t have to deal with costly repairs.

  3. Two ways to prevent power surge damage: 1. Lightning Surge Protection Devices To prevent lightning damage, surge protection devices (SPDs, also known as lightning arresters) should be added to conductors entering and exiting the building. This provides complete protection for your electronic equipment from lightning-induced transients traveling along electrical and communication cables, as well as data lines. A surge suppressor is a device that becomes conductive at some voltage. As the potential rises and the surge suppression becomes conductive, it shunts the surge back to where it came. This is required by NFPA 780 and UL both on all services where they enter the structure. SPDs are used for protection against surges from power lines, signal lines, feeder lines, and other various line voltage surges and can be used as class 1, 2 & 3 levels of protection.

  4. A lightning 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 the surge current) from damaging the equipment.

  5. Two ways to prevent power surge damage: 2. Bonding and Grounding The second way to reduce power surge damage is by addressing bonding and grounding. The purpose of bonding is to ensure that, in the event of a lightning discharge, any sparking or flashover of the lightning current to conductive parts of the structure, for example, water pipes, cables, etc., is avoided. Grounding is also critical to personnel and equipment safety as it ensures more effective surge protection.
