Electronic systems have become central to virtually every aspect of our lives from PCs and building management systems in the offices to automated petrol pumps, barcode scanners at the supermarket, ATM’s in the banks and programmable Logic Controllers (PLC) in facilities etc.
Lightning and electrical surges devastate these electronic systems that drive industries.
Thunderstorm days per annum
Nigeria is particularly vulnerable, with about 140 – 180 thunderstorm days per annum, the world’s highest compared to Europe 5 – 20 days and Florida’s 100 days.
These threats of damage to vital electronic systems, and the seriousness of the consequences, are more real NOW than ever before.
Deploying effective electronic systems (surge) protection will prevent
- Loss or destroyed data
- Equipment damage
- Repair work – especially costly for remote or unmanned installations
- The high cost of extended stoppages – sales lost to competitors, lost production, deterioration or spoilage of work in progress
- Loss of essential services – fire alarm, security systems, building management systems
- Health and safety hazards caused by plant instability, after loss of control
- Fire risks and electric shock hazards
Effective protection is achieved through installation of coordinated set of Surge Protection Devices (SPDs), covering
- Incoming/outgoing mains & data lines
- Protecting sensitive & critical electronic systems from damage.
At FullSpectrum Energy our focus is to work with you, save money and time by deploying quality surge protection at all times.
Avoid Headaches, Cut Your Downtime and save money
