Dangerous
power surges happen all year around.
Nearly
every electrical device and appliance
in today’s homes use sensitive
solid-state components. Although you
are not aware of it, there are hundreds
of very short duration 1,000 plus-volt
surges in a typical home’s wiring
every day. Some get as high as 5,000
volts.
|
|
|
 |
Even
if none of the voltage surges are strong
enough to destroy the electronic components,
these frequent smaller surges can slowly
break down wiring insulation. This causes
premature device failure or faulty operation.
Your
small plug-in (point-of-use) surge arresters
do not provide adequate protection. Furthermore,
there are appliances (heating and A/C, etc.)
which cannot be protected with these simple
plug-in arresters. Also, damage caused to
electrical equipment can come in as a result
of an “indirect” strike to the
utility lines or pole even as far away as
a couple of miles and follow these wires
into your home. It makes little difference
whether you have underground or overhead
utility wires. The lightning will follow
these wires into your home.

Studies
show that your appliances will last up to 30%
longer if you have surge protection installed.

This current surge suppression technology has been found to greatly
minimize the possibility of wiring system flashover and resulting fire
and injury. It shall, however, be noted that lightning is a powerful
phenomenon, which may exceed the capabilities of the surge suppression
equipment alone, or enter through unpredictable and unanticipated paths.
With this in mind, there can be no absolute guarantee against damage
to connected equipment.
We
suggest that both, the surge suppression package
and the lightning rods be installed, as they
work together to provide a complete package
that UL rates at 99% effective in preventing
lightning damage.

There
are two components to a complete lightning
protection system.
1. Lightning
Rods and Grounding to protect the structure
from a direct lightning
strike and subsequent damage to componentry
and personal injury.
2.
Whole
house surge protection (electric, phone,
cable/satellite)
to protect from an indirect lightning
strike or an electrical power surge coming
in through
the utility lines.

History
of Lightning Rods:
Invented
in 1752 by Benjamin Franklin, and still referred
to as, “The
Franklin Rod,” lightning
protection systems are made from materials that
conduct electricity easily. You can find the story
of Franklin's lightning rod at the Franklin
Institute.
A
lightning rod system works by providing a pre-determined
path
of low
resistance to the ground, which discharges the
stroke quickly and harmlessly. A lightning protection
system is so effective at dissipating the stroke
to ground, that occupants in the protected building
are often unaware that the building has even
been struck.
