Earthing, also known as grounding, is a fundamental and essential part of an electrical system. Despite not being a visible element, the earthing system is of vital importance for the safety of people and equipment, as it protects against dangerous potential differences.

A digital twin is a living virtual replica of a physical asset, connected to its real-time data. By combining sensors, models and operational context, it enables the observation and prediction of the asset’s behaviour as if it were a permanent simulator. From early models linked to space research to their ever-evolving role in Industry 4.0, digital twin technology represents a revolution in electrical distribution.

Aplicaciones Tecnológicas puts its more than 35 years of experience to offer free webinars aimed at professionals involved in the design of lightning protection systems and safety against electrical storms, design and implementation of earthing and surge protection systems.

AT Research Center, the testing laboratory of Aplicaciones Tecnológicas S.A., has obtained UNE-EN ISO/IEC 17025 certification for the first time from the Spanish National Accreditation Entity (ENAC). This accreditation recognises the laboratory’s competence to perform tests on Early Streamer Emission (ESE) air terminals, lightning strike counters, and surge protection devices.
