Systems Protection

Lightning Protection

Lightning activity can cause transient over voltage on both main power supplies and data communication, signal or telephone lines.

Lightning discharges are awesome and are claimed to have currents of up to 530,000A, though 200,000A is an accepted upper limit.

When lightning hit a building without a structural lightning protection system, this current would seek path(s) to earth through the building and its fabric in an erratic and unpredictable manner. The building is likely to be damaged and may even catch fire. This would lead to transient over voltage and cause extensive damage to the building and its contents.

However, if lightning strikes a building with adequate lightning protection, the lightning current would travel to the ground in a predetermined manner.

Lightning can cause transient over voltages through:

Direct strikes to incoming electrical services 

Indirect strikes which are coupled into electrical services through resistive, inductive, and capacitive effects.

Earthing and Bonding  

Electrical Power panel and Control systems 

Customized power panel and control systems is designed, constructed installed and commissioned depending on the need and environment. This will ensure ease of isolation for the purposes of routine maintenance, integrity checks or trouble shooting.

These includes the following:

• Electrical mains monitors

• Electrical phase sequence corrector

• Power distribution

• Change-over

• Central mains power panel

• AMF power panels
