Lightning surge protection devices are devices whose main objective is to protect electrical installations. They conduct to ground voltages that are above a safe threshold before reaching electrical appliances. Ideal lightning surge protection devices (SPD) should conduct the current at voltages higher than the rated voltage of the device, keeping the voltage stable for the duration of the surge but stopping the conduction as soon as the voltage returns to the rated value.

2. Internal protection against lightning
safeguards electrical and electronic equipment
against transient overvoltage caused by
electromagnetic impulses. It may occur due to
atmospheric electric discharges (lightning),
switching, or faulty processes (grounding or
short circuit). The most destructive are those
due to lightning.
Lightning surge protection devices are devices
whose main objective is to protect electrical
installations. They conduct to ground voltages
that are above a safe threshold before
reaching electrical appliances.
A Surge Protection Device (SPD) is a
component of the electrical installation
protection system. It is connected in parallel to
the power supply circuit of the loads that it has
to protect.
3. LEC offers a wide range of lightning
surge protection devices for the
protection of electrical installations.
Different types of SPDs depend on the
technology they include and what
characterizes their operation against
transient overvoltage.
Ideal lightning surge protection
devices (SPD) should conduct the
current at voltages higher than the
rated voltage of the device, keeping
the voltage stable for the duration of
the surge but stopping the conduction
as soon as the voltage returns to the
rated value.
4. According to the standards, an SPD contains at least
one non-linear component, and its function is to limit
transient overvoltage. In most SPDs, the non-linear
electronic components divert the extra energy from
the overvoltage by employing two technologies:
short-circuiting and/or voltage cutting.
5. The FG300K Series is a high-performance UL 1449 Listed Type 1 SPD designed for critical panels in the
harshest environments. This lightning surge protection device achieves the highest UL performance ratings
for the Nominal Discharge Current (In) and High Current (SCCR) tests while providing a low Voltage
Protection Rating (VPR).
The LEC TE-POE-A is a surge protection device for data circuit protection, which offers surge protection on
category 6 Power-Over-Ethernet applications for loads up to 0.75 amps. This device helps to protect critical
video, security, and computing equipment from damaging surges, transients, and circulating ground
currents.
Data Line Protector is a State-of-the-art series/hybrid surge protection and suppression for low voltage
data lines, available in various configurations for telecom lines, control lines, and more to prevent lightning
damage and provide surge protection.
Every industry is constantly at risk of being adversely affected or damaged by overvoltage. Get your facility
