Surge protection for the energy efficient illumination system

1. Exploring Perfection In Surge Protection Offering Surge protection for the energy efficient illumination system The LED lightning system is becoming more popular and important for retrofitting in electrical and lightning systems. They are a piece of electrically sensitive equipment when compared to its counterparts. LED lightning can brighten up your space. Well-lit lightning fixtures make people feel safe. However, its continuous and proper functioning is threatened by the environmental effects as it is intended to stay in adverse surrounding throughout its working life. Lightning strike hitting on a power grid can be disastrous. It can simply kill your device or initiate fire. The LED systems are susceptible to over voltage transients that are inductively coupled onto these power grids. Surges are caused from direct lightning effects or switching activities. LEDs on the power grids when subjected to direct power surges, can cause the LED driving system to burn out leaving the system useless. They are susceptible both in common and differential mode.

2. Exploring Perfection In Surge Protection Offering None of us take the lightning system protection as something necessary. What would the world look like if the streetlights cease for certain span of time? Will you be able to walk on those desolated streets safely? Hence the normal and continuous working of illumination is a critical segment you need to consider. For guaranteeing maximum protection to the outdoor lighting fixtures, LED Lightning Surge Protection Devices are installed to limit the high voltage to a level that the device can withstand. The LED protection module is chosen based on a combination of factors – the maximum operating voltage, temporary voltage and short circuit current at the point where it is to be installed. This incorporation to the lightning poles can make it long lasting and reliable solution. The excess voltage induced is absorbed and the voltage level is clamped to the prescribed level. The protection module adheres to compulsory standard IEC 61643-11 and is a DIN rail mounted module. They are accessible in any range of voltage according to the client’s requirement. Moreover, the response time for the transient overvoltage occurrence is really less. In this way you are working on the longer working life of the LED luminaires. For maximum protection, the setup should be in the way that one SPD should be at the mast of the pole and one at the mains supply unit.
