Lightning Arrester & Protection Systems
A lightning arrester, also called surge arrester or lightning diverter, safeguards electrical systems from high voltage surges caused by lightning strikes or transients. It redirects the surge to ground, protecting equipment. They are used in power transmission, communication networks and vulnerable infrastructure. Arresters can be made of metal oxide varistors (MOV), gas discharge tubes (GDT), …
Earthing
Earthing or grounding, connects an electrical system to the Earth for safety and Equipment performance. It involves connecting a metal conductor (like a wire) from the Equipment system to the ground, serving as reference point. Earthing ensures that excess electrical current flows safely to the ground, preventing electric shock, equipment damage and fires. In Electrical …
