Lightning can damage a building and the electrical equipment inside it. These risks need different types of protection. An ESE lightning arrester is part of an external lightning protection system. A surge arrester, or SPD, protects electrical circuits and connected equipment from transient overvoltage.   Some buildings may need both. Feature ESE lightning arrester Surge arrester / SPD Main purpose Protects the structure from direct lightning strikes Protects electrical circuits and connected equipment from transient overvoltage Installation Outside the building Inside the electrical distribution system Protection path Down conductor and earthing system Diverts surge current through the SPD to the earthing system Typical location Roof, mast or other suitable high point Main or sub-distribution boards Protects ...

  A voltage surge can last for only a few microseconds, yet it can damage control panels, electronic equipment and other connected loads. Lightning-induced disturbances and switching operations can create these sudden voltage rises. A surge protection device spd helps limit that voltage and reduce the stress reaching downstream equipment.   A Type 2 surge protection device protects electrical equipment by limiting transient voltage and diverting surge current away from downstream circuits. It is commonly installed at distribution boards to reduce the surge energy reaching connected equipment such as control panels, automation systems and electronic devices. What is a Type 2 surge protection device? A surge protection device type 2 is installed in low-voltage distribution systems to limit transient overvoltage. It is commonly fitted at a distribution board after the incoming protection, protecting circuits and equipment further down the installation.   Axis offers Ty...
