Surge Protectors

Electrical surges pose a significant risk to any building with an electrical system, whether it’s a home, office, retail store, or industrial facility. These surges can damage sensitive equipment, disrupt operations, and result in costly repairs. At Brite Lighting & Electrical, we provide a range of high-quality surge protectors, specifically designed for use in DB boards, to safeguard your entire building's electrical infrastructure from unexpected voltage spikes.

What are Surge Protectors?

Surge protectors are crucial devices that shield electrical equipment from voltage spikes and power surges. These spikes can occur due to several factors, including lightning strikes, power outages, and sudden changes in electrical load when large appliances are turned on or off. Surge protectors work by diverting excess voltage to the ground, ensuring that only safe levels of electricity reach your devices, thereby preventing potential damage.

Where are Surge Protectors Commonly Used?

Surge protectors are widely used in various types of buildings, installed directly in Distribution Boards (DB Boards). They provide comprehensive protection for the entire electrical system within a building. Commonly, they are used in:

  • Residential Buildings: To protect home appliances and electronic devices.
  • Commercial Offices: To safeguard computers, servers, and other office equipment.
  • Retail Stores and Shopping Centers: To prevent damage to point-of-sale systems, lighting, and security systems.
  • Industrial Facilities: To protect heavy machinery, control systems, and production equipment.
  • Educational Institutions: To ensure the safety of IT infrastructure and laboratory equipment.

Installing surge protectors in DB boards offers a centralized solution, protecting all connected circuits and equipment throughout the building.

  • Compliance and Peace of Mind: Many insurance companies and safety regulations recommend or require the use of surge protection devices in commercial and industrial settings. Having the appropriate surge protection installed ensures compliance and peace of mind.

What to Look for Before Purchasing a Surge Protector

When choosing a surge protector, consider the following factors to ensure you select the best device for your needs:

  1. Voltage and Current Ratings: Make sure the surge protector matches the voltage and current requirements of your building's electrical system.
  2. Joule Rating: A higher joule rating indicates the surge protector’s capacity to absorb energy before it fails. Choose a higher rating for enhanced protection, especially in areas prone to frequent surges.
  3. Response Time: Faster response times offer quicker protection against sudden surges, which is crucial for safeguarding sensitive equipment.
  4. Compatibility with DB Boards: Ensure the surge protector is compatible with your existing DB board setup and can be easily integrated without significant modifications.
  5. Certification and Standards Compliance: Look for products that meet national and international safety standards, ensuring reliable performance and protection.
