Surge protection against lightning strikes: Protect your modern installations

Indeed, surge protection against lightning strikes is much more than a simple technical precaution. It is an essential step to guarantee the longevity of your modern infrastructure. In practical terms, it relies on the use of devices such as surge protectors. Designed to divert the destructive voltage spikes generated by lightning strikes […]

What is a Transient Voltage? what is a transient voltage and how to control it

Indeed, a transient voltage is an electrical shock wave. It's a sudden surge or drop in voltage. Very brief and of formidable intensity, it propagates through a network. Simply put, it's an unwanted energy spike capable of damaging, or even instantly destroying, your most sensitive electronic components. Understanding what a transient voltage is […]
Sky Sentinel: HSE lightning alert based on TWS, consistent with IEC 62305:2024

Objective (HSE) For an HSE manager, lightning risk is managed like any other operational risk: anticipate, decide, secure, and then resume operations at the right time. IEC 62305:2024 is part of a risk management approach and the selection of mitigation measures (technical and organizational). Within this framework, a lightning warning solution must above all […]
StrikeRadar: lightning monitoring to analyze risk and document your sites

Indeed, when managing an industrial site, a telecom infrastructure, a photovoltaic park, or multiple sites, the question isn't simply "Is there a storm?" The real operational question is: what has been the lightning activity in our areas, and how can we document this exposure to make informed decisions, analyze the situation, and improve protection? […]
Do Solar Panels Attract Lightning? do solar panels attract lightning explained

Indeed, let's get one thing straight from the start: no, solar panels do not attract lightning. This misconception, while surprisingly persistent, has no scientific basis. A photovoltaic panel, in itself, does not create atmospheric conditions conducive to a lightning strike. Let's separate fact from fiction
