Surge Protective Devices (SPDs) are electrical devices, commonly installed in electrical power transmission and distribution systems, electrical power distribution panels, communications …
As we described in our previous blog, ‘Lightning Protection System Design and Products’, Surge Protection Devices or SPD’s are an important part of any building’s Internal Lightning Protection System (LPS). SPD’s are designed to protect sensitive electronic & electrical equipment by limiting transient overvoltage and diverting surge currents. SPD’s are …
What is an ESE Lightning Arrester? An ESE lightning arrester is used because it becomes the fast conductive point of discharge for the lightning bolt and ground current safely. After installing this type of arrester, lightning does not hit random objects or the structure of the facility, the lightning bolt …
In this article, we will explore the importance, design & installation of Lightning & Surge Protection for wind turbines. This essential topic explores the cutting-edge strategies and technologies used to protect these towering giants from lightning strikes and transient over-voltages, ensuring their reliable operation, minimising downtime, and safeguarding valuable components …
Battery storage systems have emerged as a pivotal technology in the energy revolution, enabling the storage of locally produced electricity on-site. These systems, often housed in containerized units, store power generated by renewable sources such as photovoltaic systems and wind turbines, and feed it back into the grid on demand. …
What is Lightning Arrester’s Coverage Area? The coverage area of a Lightning Arrester (or Air Terminal) is the area within which the arrester can effectively protect a structure from lightning strikes. This area is determined by the spacing between air terminals. In this blog, we have explained the Lightning Arrester’s …
How many times is your building hit by lightning every year? A Lightning Strike Counter will give you the exact count. It is specially designed to record the number of lightning strike events and help you identify if your system requires any maintenance. In this blog, we will deep dive …
Where do Netflix & Amazon Prime store the thousands of Movies & TV Shows they stream on their websites and apps? They don’t keep all these terabytes of data on your computer or your phone. They keep them in Data Centres – massive buildings with thousands of racks of servers …
The importance of the lightning protection system for any building cannot be overstated. Lightning protection systems are essential to protect buildings from lightning strikes and the damages caused to the structure, the internal system, and the people inside. To design an effective system for complete protection we need to first …
