Stagobel - Why surge protection is a necessity!
Lightning damage is a more common issue than you think ...
Over 50,000 lightning strikes are recorded in Belgium every year. It is not only a direct lightning strike that can cause damage. Did you know that surges caused by lightning can be felt up to 2km from the point of impact? The consequences are not only annoying but also expensive!
Overvoltage protection for tertiary and industrial buildings
A reliably functioning technical installation is a must for smooth operations. Therefore, office facilities or production processes must be protected against unwanted breakdowns due to lightning and overvoltages. After all, a fault-free electrical installation must be guaranteed at all times.
Sensitive technology and automation systems, especially Industry 4.0 equipment, require good protection. Installations and sensors are networked and constantly communicate with each other. A localised overvoltage can impact the entire network and all consumers connected to it.
A robust and sustainable protection of all production processes against overvoltages is crucial. Here, both the power supply and the data & communication lines must be protected against lightning and overvoltages.
This applies equally to the protection of network technologies in Smart Buildings. Here too, damage caused by lightning and overvoltages can have serious consequences for employees, the building and the technologies.
With a complete lightning protection system, unnecessary costly failures are avoided. Consult our protection concept for offices and buildings to ensure the safety and continuity of an electrical installation and data network.
Not only the choice of the type of surge arrestor is important, but also where it is placed and how it is connected. For a comprehensive protection concept, other technologies such as telephony should not be overlooked. It is important to install a surge protection on those connections as well. The A.R.E.I., the CODEX on well-being at work and the normative document HD60364-4-443 also point out the need to protect.
