Even with the best grounding and bonding system, electrical transient events and disturbances can cause a loss of electrical equipment and increase downtime. A coordinated surge protection system is crucial for ensuring protection during a major electrical event and prolonging the life of equipment by reducing the impact of low-magnitude transient events.
For both building power and low-voltage applications, nVent ERICO has the products and expertise for a comprehensive surge protection scheme on power and communication lines caused by lightning, building systems and other switching events. Our involvement in the industry predates the creation of the initial IEC and UL low-voltage surge protection standards, and we have been active in all major worldwide surge protective device (SPD) standards committees and industry bodies, including IEEE, IEC and UL.
