Surge Suppression Catalog To ensure 99.999% of service availability and to prolong the service life of mission critical equipment, it is absolutely necessary for facilities to be equipped to effectively dissipate damaging levels of transient surge energy. A complete LIGHTNING PROTECTION SYSTEM includes strike termination devices, surge protection devices, grounding electrodes and the required interconnecting conductors, connectors and fittings. UL 96A recommends that UL Listed surge protection devices should be installed on each electric service entrance in accordance with NEC Article 285,...

Surge Suppression Catalog Introduction The Lightning Threat Introduction A direct lightning strike is an obvious hazard to human safety. The same lightning strike has the potential to damage electronic equipment (1c), as referenced in the illustration below. Although direct strikes to a facility are somewhat rare events, lightning strikes that occur in the general proximity of a facility (1b, 2a) produce sufficient energy levels to severely damage sensitive electronic devices. Distant lightning activity (1a) and discharges between overhead clouds (2b) can generate significant surge currents...

Surge Suppression Catalog Lightning induced surge currents create high amplitude voltages across Earth ground resistances (2c) that give rise to life threatening “Step Voltage” are dangers to human beings. Step Voltage perils occur during close proximity lightning strikes. In these rare situations, trees and other tall structures conduct the lightning induced surge current; resulting in the generation of large voltage imbalances throughout the surface area around the trees, as shown here. A deadly high voltage differential can develop in the short distance between the feet of a person as...

Surge Suppression Catalog Lightning Protection Zones (LPZ) A properly designed lightning protection system should be undertaken in a segmented approach, as defined by IEC 61312-1. Separate sections of the indoor and outdoor protected areas are equipped with different protection devices to implement a cascaded protection scheme based on the intensity of the transient energy the SPDs will be subjected. Those areas are divided into specified “lightning protection zones” (LPZ) that are designed to withstand different levels of lightning induced energy. Each zone will employ different types of...
