The Online Course on Lightning Protection Projects of Aplicaciones Tecnológicas provides the fundamentals, method and case studies to enable professionals involved in this sector to professionally design Lightning Protection Systems based on the main international standards. Since 2022, the course is certified as CPD (Continuing Professional Development) in the UK.
Data processing centres (DPCs) are under constant threat, not only from computer attacks but also from meteorological phenomena such as electrical storms. These are essential infrastructures that require protection against lightning and surges to avoid possible data loss and degradation of electrical and electronic equipment, as well as to prevent downtime, outages and service interruptions that imply a high economic impact.
A lightning strike is one of nature’s most destructive events. Early Streamer Emission (ESE) lightning arrester is one of the main tools in lightning protection systems (LPS), a major innovation over passive lightning rods or Franklin rods. Starting with its installation and requirements to functioning, these are the five most frequently answered questions about ESE in Aplicaciones Tecnológicas.
Smart buildings are particularly vulnerable to the destructive effects of thunderstorms, due to the wide variety of interconnected automatic systems (such as lighting, temperature control, multimedia systems, telecommunications, security, etc.). Therefore, any surge that penetrates the structure, not only through the power supply lines but also through the data lines, can cause damage to a multitude of sensitive electronic equipment such as computers, alarm systems, transducers, programmable logic controllers, audio-visual equipment, etc.
