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..
All the safety devices used in your facilities are very sensitive and vulnerable to lightning and switching surges. If these systems are damaged by transient voltages, then the entire protection strategy could be compromise : surge protection is highly recommended. The cost of fully surge protecting an industrial or commercial facilitie is limited and provides peace of mind that your system will be operational when you need it most.
As the technology for Water & Wastewater treatment plants becomes more sophisticated, the risk of damage caused by lighting strikes and power line disturbances become intolerable. To assure the protection of these installations, it is necessary to deploy a coordinated system of surge protection devices (SPD) to assure continuous operation.
