LIGHTNING PROTECTION
Consulting and engineering services to safeguard electronic systems from direct and indirect lightning strikes.
Lightning and Its Threats
Lightning is an electromagnetic phenomenon with statistical characteristics that pose two primary threats to electronic systems:
Direct Lightning Strikes
A direct strike can result in currents of up to 200kA, causing severe damage or destruction to the system.
Indirect Lightning Strikes
Nearby strikes generate intense electromagnetic fields, inducing high currents and voltages in system circuits, which can cause malfunctions or damage.
OUR SERVICES
Lightning Risk Assessment
Evaluating risks according to European standard EN 62305 to identify vulnerabilities and recommend appropriate protection levels.
Protection Design for Direct Strikes
Designing protection systems for facilities, including lightning arresters, cabling, grounding systems, and more, compliant with relevant standards.
Protection Design for Indirect Strikes
Developing protection solutions for systems and PCBs to meet indirect lightning strike standards (e.g., EN 61000-4-5).
Electromagnetic Simulations for Lightning
Performing simulations to assess electromagnetic fields and their effects on facilities and electronic circuits (e.g., PCB co-simulation). These include detailed 3D modeling of structures and electronics.
