Effective earthing and lightning protection systems are critical safeguarding modern infrastructure from electrical hazards. As technology advances, so do the challenges of ensuring robust protection against lightning strikes and voltage surges.
Earthing and lightning protection systems safeguard structures, equipment, and people from electrical hazards. The surge protection market is witnessing significant growth due to increased electronics usage and awareness of voltage fluctuation risks. However, ensuring their effectiveness comes with its own set of challenges.
For example, most of us know that external lightning rods will be installed at the top of the installation, infrastructure, or building. However, a very few of us may also be conversant about the mandatory need for surge protection devices (SPDS) in lowvoltage power supply systems, especially after installing external lightning rods.
The selection of the installation points and the types of surge protection technology used in the low-voltage installation are primary concerns that can compromise the entire low-voltage (LV) power supply system and the equipment.
Protection Concepts for the LV Power Supply:
A comprehensive approach is necessary to ensure robust protection measures across low-voltage power supplies in any installation. This includes:
