Thunderstorm safety – What to do after a lightning strikes on a lightning rod?
A lightning protection system prevents a direct strike on the structure, but it does strike the lightning rod. Therefore, when a discharge occurs, the entire lightning protection system must be thoroughly checked and reset, as the integrity of critical components (lightning rods, conductors, connections, grounding, etc.) may be compromised. Following a post-impact protocol ensures that the system continues to function properly and the installation remains protected.

Surge protection for electric vehicle charging stations: ATCOMPACT INFINITY
Electric vehicles depend on charging stations to refuel and operate throughout the day. Any failure in these installations, such as those caused by transient and permanent overvoltages, can cause the vehicle to fail and even cause damage to both the station and the car itself. The ATCOMPACT INFINITY series protects charging stations when two panels are connected to the same meter.
