  1. Surge Protection and its Role in Electrical Maintenance Surge Protection Devices have proven to be essential, ever since the electricity has become an integral part of life—in powering our homes and businesses. This inevitably has made electrical devices costlier, along with which the importance of protecting them from damage has also risen. Devices which run on electricity can also be damaged by it. This is because internal elements of these devices can only manage a specific amount of electrical current before they are negatively impacted. In order to reduce such incidents, the first surge protection devices were created in the form of miniature circuit breakers. These were protection systems that permitted regular performance when the electrical flow was below a safe level – everything beyond this level was immediately shut down to prevent further damage. The circuit breakers in most homes and offices use this type of protection and there have been relatively no changes for a while now. Eventually, an additional layer of surge protection was built that was able to identify subtle fluctuations in the electrical flow. Surge strips perform the task of a breaker mechanism themselves and the components that are being protected plugs directly into them. This facilitates shut down at any distinct point outside of the complete electrical system that is powering a home or business. A surge strip essentially acts as a safeguarding component for devices that are extremely sensitive and can be damaged at the circuit level by continuous power fluctuations along with large surges. In most cases, this level of protection is sufficient, mainly because of the fact that power factor correction systems require a high investment that most individuals are reluctant to pay. Circuit breakers warrant the safety of a host of devices, such as electrical switches and electrical sockets. The concept and notion of industrial surge protection is a much more intricate issue. It fundamentally safeguards millions of dollars of equipment and devices that may be linked together, powered by a common electronic data system. Damages caused by lightning strikes and surges from electric switching can cause great havoc on industrial systems, costing businesses millions of dollars in damages and possibly resulting in the malfunctioning of critical communications or power management systems that these functions need. This is exactly why industrial surge arresters have grown in popularity and applicability. Concurrently with the rise of technology, the features and components they are constructed with are far more innovative and dynamic. They can recognise the smallest changes in electrical flow. The modern industrial surge protection devices generally require huge amounts of investment, but their performance, and use ensure a significant return on investment.

  2. SURGE: Every circuit functions using a particular specified voltage, any voltage, which exceeds a certain fixed tolerance range, is a Surge Voltage. ORIGIN OF SURGE: Surge voltage occurs – During switching operations in the electrical systems Conductor loop formation from the conductors from the mains supply and data transmission Erratic power supply from the source/ sub station Lightning discharges (Direct & Indirect) in the vicinity of installations. HOW SURGE VOLTAGES TRAVEL: The coupling of surge voltages from one system to another can be Inductive, Capacities or Galvanic coupling. In this way, surge voltage reach the input power units and the sensitive interfaces of systems and terminals. Out of these coupling, Inductive coupling is the most common and destructive in nature. Surge Protective Device (SPD): A device that is intended to limit transient overvoltages and divert surge currents. It contains at least one nonlinear component.
