Power Distribution Networks
Power distribution grids are particularly
susceptible to lightning surges, causing
system outages and affecting the
reliability of the power supply, resulting in
enormous financial burden. The transfer
of over voltages to the low voltage side is
mainly associated with a rise in potential
at the transformer grounding caused
by current flowing through the medium
voltage surge arresters and creating an
electromagnetic coupling between the
medium-voltage and low-voltage transformer
terminals. Installing surge protection
significantly reduces the over voltages
to safe lower peak values which remain
practically unaffected by transformer and/or
load grounding resistances.

By installing highly reliable surge protection at the
service entrance and electrical panels throughout the
facility, the equipment will be protected from voltage
spikes which can be caused by
lighting and utility accidents. The
equipment will also be protected
against smaller, more frequent
surges caused by the switching on
and off of adjacent equipment such
as motors, pumps, refrigeration
equipment or other large equipment
inside the facility. All of Raycap Water Bottling Machine
surge protection for industrial
