If you’re responsible for keeping a manufacturing facility up and running, you already know how much technology is tried into your electrical system: automated lighting, industrial HVAC, network servers, and digital signage. Everything is connected, and all of it is vulnerable to voltage surges.
Utility switching, grid maintenance, and nearby outages can send a surge into your building. In some bases, a single nearby lightning strike may be enough to induce surges that can enter your facility and damage critical equipment. And a down power line or electrical equipment failures can send hazardous surges across entire business parks.
To combat downtime, a facility-wide system of surge protective devices, or SPDs, helps manage those risks. An SPD at the main electrical panel acts as the first line of defense, detecting and mitigating incoming surges before they reach sensitive systems. Additional SPDs installed downstream provide layered protection against surges
Once the surge is mitigated, the SPD stays active and ready for the next event. No reset. No downtime.
Whether it is lightning, a grid event, or equipment switching surges, your facility remains protected and protective with SPDs.
Don’t wait for the next surge. Explore NEMA guidance on selecting and installing the right SPD solution today. Visit www.NEMASurge.org and www.ESFI.org for more information.
