Solutions: Transportation
The
transportation industries’ goals are to deliver goods and people from
one location to another safely, efficiently, and on-time. These goals
are threatened by delay or cancellation of schedules, which is exactly
the threat that lightning and
poor power
quality pose. Electrical transients
generated from direct and indirect lightning strikes can adversely affect
track circuits in railway operations, damage traffic control equipment,
cause massive property damage, halt operations, and pose physical harm
to personnel and customers. Beyond property damage losses, the economic
consequences from cancelled or delayed schedules can cost millions of
dollars.Â
Proper grounding and bonding, surge suppression, as well as a lightning protection system can help protect equipment and the services relying on this equipment, plus protect employees and clients from harm.
