Do you know that lightning strikes somewhere on this earth every second? Do you know you could take a strike like this and have no damage? Our Power Quality Specialist can install lightning protection packages to keep you and your business safe. According to the Lightning Protection Institute, "A lightning strike to an unprotected building can be catastrophic. Packing up to 100 million volts of electricity and a force comparable to that of a small nuclear reactor, lightning has the power to rip through roofs, explode walls of brick and concrete and ignite deadly fires. In addition to structural damage, lightning surges throughout power lines causing wire damage and destruction of valuable electronic equipment including computers, sensitive electronics, security systems, etc." Do you know lightning causes more deaths than tornadoes and floods combined? The proper lightning protection package can protect you and your business from devastating lightning damage. Per the Lightning Protection Institute, "A lightning protection system provides a designated path for the lightning current to travel. The system neither attracts nor repels a lightning strike, but simply intercepts and guides the current harmlessly to ground. A lightning protection system is made up of several components. Millions of dollars are spent by corporations every year as a result of lightning damage to commercial properties. Loss of life, Insurance claims, equipment destruction, fire damage, production and inventory loss can all result from a single lightning strike. In addition to property loss, lightning damage to robotics, communication lines, computer equipment and security systems can result in extended downtime for your company. Protecting people and property are what lightning protection systems are all about. State-of-the-art lightning protection systems are a part of the structural design of commercial and public facilities worldwide, and are designed to maximize protection to both life and property."
