Earthing and Lightning Protection Systems
Lightning, one of nature's most effective elements can carry around 1 billion volts of energy and may reach temperatures of 28,000�C. Even though a lightning discharge is of a noticeably short duration (typically 200 microseconds), it can cause massive destruction. The effects of a lighting stroke are immediately apparent harm to plugged electrical devices, damage to the building, trees blown apart and personal injuries.
Switch rooms, boards and control centres
Earthing systems play an essential role in lightning and surge protection by safely dissipating the energy surges to ground. At Electric Way, we advocate a complete approach to earthing safety to protect your building structure, electronic systems and personnel therein.
Surge protection
- A trusted earthing protection scheme encompasses both structural lightning and transient voltage protection. They play an essential role in channeling electrical energy to the ground in order to mitigate damages.
- The electrical bolts from lightning can trigger fires/ explosions and cause disruption round the building. Worse, they are able to cause equipment damage and personal injury. Earthing protection systems are created to give high voltage a safe and low impedance path to earth.
- Instead of traveling through the building?s electrical wiring, cabling paths or water pipes, where it could create significant destruction, the electricity is routed to a less destructive way to ground.
- A surge protection system will not completely get rid of the damage, but it can certainly reduce it by safe routing, rather than giving it free reign on the building.
Moreover, the increasing usage of electrical and electronics have necessitated the need for surge protection devices to safeguard them from voltage spikes. Heavy damages to important business systems will result in downtime, heavy financial loss and cripple the functioning of the organizations.
