Introduction
Modern industrial environments, manufacturing businesses, process facilities, storage areas, utility companies, and infrastructure projects rely heavily on automation systems as a crucial component of their operations. These automation systems rely on many different types of components including PLC panels, SCADA networks, VFDs, control and command devices, sensors, communications equipment, power supply equipment, and data interfaces. When a lightning strike or an electrical surge occurs, these sensitive systems can be interrupted resulting in damage to machinery/equipment, unexpected down time, safety hazards, loss of data, electrical failures and disruption of operations.
To prevent automation systems from being affected by lightning and/or surges, it is necessary for a facility to have a coordinated protection strategy that includes lightning protection systems, surge protection products, earthing systems, grounding systems and lightning risk assessments.
