The Surge Protection Solution: The main advantage of surge protection devices (SPD), connected upstream the equipment, is that they work almost independently of the surge level: they will limit drastically the surge voltage under the voltage withstand of the equipment, avoiding by this way the failures. Selection of the SPDs: Important for the selection is the surge discharge capability. Therefore, when selecting surge protection, attention should be paid to the SPD Type and to its installation situation.
Why do surge protection for CCTV systems: Digital or analog CCTV system consists of electronic devices such as cameras, recorders, controllers, monitors, network equipment, etc. linked to each other via wired or wireless transmission cables. Data collected from the cameras is sent to a control unit to be monitored by operators through the transmission system. Surges can damage or even completely destroy these devices so there is definitely a need of surge protection solutions for cameras..
An industrial plant has many systems operating synchronously with each other such as power system, data and information exchange system, security control system, etc.... with many other electrical and electronic equipments. The risk of infection caused by lightning strikes from outside or industrial overvoltage pulses appearing inside the factory will damage electrical and electronic equipment, it probably stopping production and business activities. Therefore, it is necessary to install a comprehensive surge protection system.
