Electronic Equipment Ac 5Ka Lightning Arrester Surge Protection For Outdoor Lighting

About Surge Lightning Arrester:

Thermally protected Surge Protective Device is a self-protected device specially designed to be used in European outdoor and commercial LED lighting fixtures for transient overvoltage protection. It has been developed with Littelfuse’s thermally protected varistor technology. Its built-in thermal disconnect function provides additional protection to prevent catastrophic failure and fire hazard even under extreme circumstances of varistor end-of-life or sustaining over voltage conditions. It also provides high line-to-earth/ground resistance, facilitating faster production line testing.

Advantages of Lightning Arrester:

• Protection Against Lightning Strikes:

The primary function of a lightning arrester is to divert the extremely high voltage of a lightning strike safely to the ground, preventing damage to electrical systems and equipment.

• Equipment and Infrastructure Protection:

Lightning arresters protect sensitive electronic equipment, appliances, and other electrical devices connected to a system by preventing excessive voltage from reaching them.

• Minimization of Voltage Surges:

Lightning arresters can also protect against voltage surges caused by events such as switching operations in the power grid. By quickly conducting excess voltage to the ground, they prevent it from traveling through the system.

• Fire Prevention:

Lightning strikes can cause electrical fires due to the intense heat generated during a strike. Lightning arresters help minimize the risk of fire by preventing excessive voltage buildup in the system.

• Extended Equipment Lifespan:

By preventing high-voltage spikes, lightning arresters contribute to the longevity and reliability of electrical equipment. Sudden voltage surges can significantly reduce the lifespan of electronic components.

• Reduced Downtime and Maintenance Costs:

Lightning arresters can reduce downtime and maintenance costs associated with equipment damage caused by lightning strikes or power surges. This is especially important for critical infrastructure and industrial facilities.

• Safety for Personnel:

Lightning arresters enhance the safety of individuals working in or around structures by reducing the risk of electrical shocks and fires caused by lightning-induced voltage surges.

• Compliance with Standards and Codes:

Lightning protection systems, including lightning arresters, are often required to comply with building codes and industry standards. Installation of lightning arresters helps ensure regulatory compliance.

• Versatility:

Lightning arresters are versatile and can be installed in various types of structures, including residential, commercial, and industrial buildings. They can also be integrated into power distribution networks.
