  Data centers and second chances? Not possible! Even a single second of voltage failure can cause corrupted data or interrupt digital services. But people are so engaged in countering other problems like cooling, redundancy, and power backup that many have forgotten the one silent threat: electrical surges.  That’s where   Type 2 Surge Protection Devices   come in. This acts as the one protective layer between sensitive IT equipment and the unpredictable electrical environment around it. In this blog, we will discuss why these devices are inevitable for modern data centers and IT infrastructures. Let’s begin. 1. Data centers face constant internal surge activity What causes surges? Lightning? Yes, but lightning is not the only reason. In data centers, surges come from within. They come from:  Power switching UPS systems Generators Large cooling equipment  A  surge protection device (SPD)  installed at distribution panel...

  Solar and wind power plants are built to work with nature. But here is the twist. Their biggest threat is also nature itself. Because these plants sit in wide open areas, use tall structures, and rely on long cable runs, they are naturally more exposed to lightning strikes. And it only takes one strike to create serious damage. Transformers, monitoring systems, and inverters can get hit, and the result is often the same: an unexpected shutdown. That is why  ESE lightning arresters  have become one of the most crucial components in modern solar and wind installations. In this blog, we will walk through how they protect renewable plants and why they are worth the investment. Ready? Let’s start! 1. Why renewable energy plants need advanced lightning protection Solar and wind plants are usually installed in open fields, elevated terrain, or coastal areas where lightning activity is naturally high. Wind turbines are designed to be tall, and solar plants co...
