Lightning Protection Products

Data center equipment is complex and sensitive. One of the key failure sources at data centers is voltage transients. One power surge can destroy or reduce the life span of the equipment. It may cause a significant amount of money to recover from any amount of downtime or hardware damage resulting from a surge.

The crucial functions of data centers must be safe guarded from power surges caused by unreliable power off the grid or by direct and indirect lightning strikes.

While you may not be able to avoid some power surges, you can take steps to protect your devices and your facilities from any damage.

Put surge protection in place:

Implementing surge protection within the data centre will ensure that equipment functions aren’t harmed, hardware components are not fried, outages are prevented and that any surges are effectively diffused.

Use appropriate industrial surge protection solution featuring LEC’s surge protection devices (SPD). With our unique patented design, maintenance free modules have the capabilities to withstand multiple high energy transients - including direct lightning surges – and continue to keep protected equipment safe.

There are four major considerations to note while choosing surge protection to safeguard your data centre operations:

- The protection of personnel

- The protection of power supply lines and maintenance of the energy supply

- The protection of data processing and storage

- The protection of the building

Many types of transient voltage surge suppressors (TVSS) may be installed to protect data center equipment. These surge protection devices suppress electricity spikes in order to assure connectivity and optimum performance. TVSS devices are installed between the feed of incoming power and the equipment that they are protecting. Each surge protector works by continually monitoring the voltage of incoming electricity feed, and when they detect a surge in electricity they clamp down on the voltage line coming in and diverting the power surge to ensure seamless operability.
