INTERNAL ASSET PROTECTION

A Lightning Rod Protects the Structure.
Surge Protection Protects What’s Inside.

A lightning rod safeguards building masonry, but lightning-induced electromagnetic pulses (LEMP) and switching surges travel miles through electrical and communication lines. Surge Protection Devices (SPDs) restrict transient voltages to safe clamping levels within nanoseconds.

COORDINATED SPD HIERARCHY

How Progressive Energy Attenuation Works

Transient overvoltages traveling along incoming utility lines or induced from nearby strikes are clamped step-by-step:

TYPE 1 (CLASS I)10/350 µs

Service Entrance Lightning Current Arrester

Location: Main Low-Voltage Distribution Board (MLVDB)

Discharges direct high-energy partial lightning currents entering through overhead utility cables before they penetrate downstream distribution.

STAGE 1 OF 3
TYPE 2 (CLASS II)8/20 µs

Sub-Distribution Surge Arrester

Location: Secondary Distribution Panels / Floor Boards

Clamps induced switching overvoltages and secondary transients to moderate residual voltage levels across building sub-circuits.

STAGE 2 OF 3
TYPE 3 (CLASS III)1.2/50 µs & 8/20 µs combination

Terminal Equipment Surge Suppressor

Location: Directly upstream of sensitive electronic end loads

Fine voltage attenuation safeguarding microprocessors, audio-visual equipment, and medical devices from residual millivolt spikes.
