Transient and Surge Protection
Transients, spikes, surges… these disturbances are the most destructive, costly and common power quality events in industry today.
Lightning Protection
When planning and executing a lightning protection system, it is necessary to observe all relevant national annexes and take account of any special circumstances or applications and the safety stipulations in the relevant country-specific supplements.
Surge Protection for Solar
Lightning is a common cause of failures in photovoltaic (PV) systems. A damaging surge can occur from lightning that strikes a long distance from the system, or even between clouds. But most lightning damage is preventable. Here are some of the most cost-effective Surge Protection devices that are generally accepted by power system installers, based on decades of experience.
Earthing Material
A well designed earthing system is vital for any electrical installation to avoid the danger associated with fault currents to avoid step and touch
Data Line Surge Protection
Interconnecting buildings with data and communication lines exposes all buildings to a surge event. It is crucial to reinforce the level of reliability for these systems. The user can achieve this by using a cascaded surge protection strategy for these sensitive networks. Rnging from 8-20mA, PoE, Lan, RS485 & RS 422 to mention a few.
Surge Protection Devices (SPDs) AC
SPDs (surge protection devices) are divided into three type classes – type 1, type 2 and type 3 (classes I, II and III). These standards contain regulations, requirements and tests for surge protection devices used in AC networks with nominal voltages of up to 1,000 V AC and nominal frequencies of be 50 AND 60Hz.
Services
Risk Assessments
Lightning Risk assessment is a Study to measure the risk of a lightning strike and probability of damages. It assesses the lightening risks to the facility according to international standards (IEC 62305). A detailed risk assessment is essential for installing the necessary external and internal protection systems.
Site Surveys
Our on-site evaluations provide an essential service in the maintenance of LPS and the provision of problem-solving solutions to prevent further damage to structures and their operational systems.
Engineered Lightning Protection System Designs
Design the lightning protection system. The standards define an effective lightning protection system as a set of equipment and devices to capture (never to attract) lightning and conduct it safely to ground.
Lightning Protection System Verification and Certification
Certification and inspection of Lightning protection systems both internal and external
