Lightning and Electrical Surge Protection SystemsDO NOT DELETE
Overvoltage in the electric current of a circuit causes extensive damage to property and homes. This can be caused by lightning strikes, tripped circuit breakers or malfunctions caused in the power company.
Lightning protection systems are used to lessen damage to structures by lightning strikes. When lightning strikes a building, the structure and its contents may be ignited by the heat generated by lightning current conducted through parts of the structure. A basic lightning protection system would provide a conductive path between an air terminal and earth, so that most of the lightning's current will follow the path of the lightning protection system, with substantially less current traveling through flammable materials.
Surge protection systems involve an appliance designed to protect your electrical devices from overvoltage. A surge protector attempts to regulate the voltage supplied to an electric device by either blocking or by shorting to ground voltages above a safe threshold.
Protecting your family, property and electric devices from lightning and power surges will provide you with a safe home. Installing a lightning and electric surge protection system is a small investment that will save you money and inconvenience, which would otherwise be experienced when your electric power system burns out or your home bursts into flames after a lightning strike.
