At Aplicaciones Tecnológicas, we have developed projects with Brazilian specialists from the USP (University of São Paulo) IEE (Institute of Energy and Environment) in the field of lightning protection and storm detection.
It is estimated that 2,000 storms coexist simultaneously on the planet and about 100 lightning bolts discharge on the earth every second. In total, this represents some 4,000 daily storms and 9 million atmospheric discharges every day. Therefore, 1.2 billion lightning strikes occur per year on our planet.
Aplicaciones Tecnológicas has protected, with a total of 19 DAT Controler® Plus Air Terminals, the world's longest bridge over water, connecting Hong Kong with Macao and the city of Zhuhai, in southern China.
The new surge protector ATSHOCK T 25 from Aplicaciones Tecnológicas, with the reference AT-8089, has achieved the qualification as a Type 1 transient overvoltage protection device approved by IBERDROLA, one of the biggest energy companies in Spain, in accordance with the Standard NI 42.71.01. Annex A: Overvoltage protection device.
