Total Facility Protection

The consequences of an unexpected lightning strike or power surge can be catastrophic for a facility:

• Personnel are at risk
• Critical equipment and data may be damaged or destroyed
• The costs of operational downtime and lost revenue can be very substantial

Because no single technology can totally eliminate vulnerability to lightning and surges, ERICO developed the Six Point Plan of Protection. This strategy is designed to help provide total facility protection by integrating several concepts: Direct strike protection, grounding and bonding, and surge and over-voltage transient protection.

As industries become more dependent on increasingly sensitive equipment, proper protection can save thousands of dollars in damage, operational downtime and lost business opportunities. The ERITECH line of facility electrical protection products are used in grounding, bonding, surge protection and lightning protection applications.

ERITECH® Grounding and Bonding ERITECH offers an extensive line of grounding and bonding products, which includes ground rods and accessories, signal reference grids, chemical ground rods, GEM ground enhancement material, couplers, clamps, inspection wells, grounding and perimeter bus bars and ground test instruments.
ERITECH® Lightning Protection Direct and indirect lightning strikes can pose many risks to businesses, including damaging buildings and critical equipment. ERITECH lightning protection products offer a variety of solutions to help protect valuable equipment and personnel and to avoid against disruption and downtime.
Surge Protection ERICO has developed a range of surge protection products to help protect against damaging electrical surges on power and communications lines caused by lightning, building systems and other switching events.
Low-Voltage Power Distribution The ERIFLEX system of low-voltage components offers proven reliability with space-saving and time-saving benefits, backed by superior technical support. Products include busbar supports, flexible insulated busbar, low-voltage insulators, metallic braids and distribution blocks. When designing systems for facility electrical protection, ERICO considers the whole facility and believes that lightning protection, grounding, equipotential bonding and surge protection are interdependent disciplines. Reliable protection of structures, industrial and commercial operations and personnel demands a systematic and comprehensive approach to minimize threats caused by transients. Let ERICO employ their state-of-the-art technology to protect your facility with a coordinated systems approach.
