A stitch in time saves nine is a universal truth that finds application in the lightning and surge industry, affecting ICT, telecommunications, industries, utilities, construction, banks, and financial institutions, etc., and indeed all sectors of the economy, having huge financial and HSE implications by affecting mission-critical equipment used in service, industrial and commercial concerns.
Lightning strikes cause malfunctioning or damage to these electronic systems that control the systems, crippling organizations and forcing businesses to their knees, resulting in loss of service delivery, downtime, productivity, and profitability. Indeed, BS EN/IEC 62305 requires integrated structural and surge protection. In effect, structural lightning protection can no longer be considered in isolation from the protection of electronic systems.
All responsive organizations usually proactive, know that their business success, sustainability, and survival are dependent on their key assets and electronic systems. Therefore safeguarding these assets by deploying coordinated and reliable surge protection against the hazards of lightning and electrical surges.
Lightning also causes Transient Over-voltages (very fast electrical ‘Surges’) on Power, Data Communication, Signal, and Telephone lines- carrying them to vulnerable equipment.
Results are:
* Instant damage to equipment & its circuitry
* Costly and lengthy stoppages to operation
* Latent damage, causing breakdowns in weeks or months later
Ultimately leading to downtime, loss of business, frustrations, and disruption, high maintenance costs, and replacement of damaged equipment are but a few of the immeasurable losses, which have grave financial implications, impacting negatively on the bottom line of businesses.
The good news is that Electronic Systems can be protected from Surge damage, for a FRACTION of the Cost of Damage.
