Creating A Safe Environment for Your Critical Equipment |
|
In today's
world, we use microprocessor
based equipment to help
make our
operations faster
and more
efficient. It is difficult to find a toaster, let alone a
sophisticated control system, which is not
microprocessor based.
This
technology has revolutionized
the way we do business, allowing us to handle information at an
ever accelerating rate. |
 |
|
However, with
the advent of micro-processors, it has become apparent that the
same environment which was adequate for equipment based on older
technology, such as vacuum
tubes, may not be adequate to
allow new
technologies to operate at
their
maximum reliability. |
|
The newer
technologies are much
more
susceptible to damage from
all types of
transients. Environmental
and man-made transients attack
your
equipment all day long, causing damage ranging from catastrophic
failure to minor damage
which
eventually accumulates to
the point of
unreliable or random
operation or
ultimate failure. And, as our devices operate faster, the
problems will become worse. It is not possible to make
electricity travel faster. So, in order to make a
device
operate faster, the distances
which the
electricity travels must
be reduced.
As the distances and
clearances
are reduced, arc-over
voltages
become lower, exacerbating vulnerability to damage from
transients. |
|
When you or
your engineers develop a system, your primary goal is
to make it
work to further your
specific
goals. You do not necessarily
consider the environment in
which it will
operate.
We at Lightning Master
approach the situation
differently. We are not specifically
concerned with what your equipment does; whether it operates a
cell site, wastewater
treatment plant, nuclear reactor or
petroleum refinery. We are
specifically
concerned with the environment
in which it operates.
We optimize
that environment to
enhance the
reliability and longevity
of your equipment. It makes
little sense
to buy state-of-the-art equipment for your business or operation
and install it in an environment
where it will be subject to transients which may damage the
equipment, cause data problems and shorten its useful life. |

The LIGHTNING
MASTER
approach:
|
|
To that end,
Lightning Master Corporation
has developed a systems approach to help you solve your
equipment reliability problems by creating safe environment in
which
it may function. We offer services
and equipment
ranging from that
needed to
address a specific problem to turn-key optimization.
Lightning
Master will: |
|
•
survey and
analyze your existing
environment
provide a written
report of findings and recommendations
•
design your protection system
•
write your
specification
manufacture and supply all required parts and equipment
•
provide
turnkey system installation
or supervise installation
by others
•
provide
continuing customer
upgrade and warranty support |
|
We provide
protection in the highest lightning incidence areas of the US
and
other parts of the world where
securing
maximum personnel safety,
reducing
downtime, increasing
reliability
and optimizing equipment
utilization
through maximum availability
is of critical concern.
