Most installers consider the cold season unsuitable for outdoor installation and are planning to carry out works in summer. It is logical, because installation of lightning protection and grounding in cold weather is accompanied by a number of inconveniences: stable negative temperatures, large amounts of snow - all this greatly complicates the installation of lightning rods and run of down conductors.
But equipment protection is needed at any time of the year. Especially from overvoltages, which come on the power lines, low-current networks and other communication lines. It is possible to make it not waiting for the summer, with the help of surge protective devices (SPD).
SPD provides protection against weather (lightning strike) and industrial (switching) surges. Installation works are indoor: it is enough to connect the protected conductor to the grounding bus in the switchboard.
A variety of solutions based on the SPD and their application temptates any expert. Possible solutions:
- Use of SPD in low-voltage power networks;
- Use of SPD in telecommunication systems (telephone);
- Use of SPD on the Internet network;
- SPDs to protect TV, satellite, radio and video equipment;
