Surge Arresters- Saving Your Electrical Systems From External and Internal Threats
In an industry, all the systems work in the direction to bring maximum out of the industry. The efficiency and productivity of the industry depend on the proper working of the various systems used in that industry. One such system used in any industry is the electrical network. The industrial electrical network bears a very high voltage of electricity to run the heavy machines used in that industry. If you do not care for your industry’s electrical system, the machines will not get the adequate electrical supply, which will lead to lower productivity and heavy economical losses.
Another major reason for proper care of your high voltage electrical network is the safety. Without proper care, the high voltage electrical system can cause serious accidents, which are harmful for both the equipment and people of your company.
In order to ensure maximum safety in your industry, you need to install proper safety equipment in your high voltage electrical circuits and one such component is the surge arresters. For high voltage electrical networks, there are many threats, which can damage the network externally and internally. These threats include lightening and switching. The lightening and internal switching create small transient currents, which cause power surges or fluctuations in the power supply to the equipment. These power surges can be very dangerous for the electrical circuits and equipment and damage them easily.
In order to save the high voltage systems from these power surges, surge arresters are installed near the heavy equipment like transformers to absorb the transient currents created due to lightening or switching and avoid power surges.
