Lightning Prevention & Surge Protection
Protecting Critical Infrastructure.
Lightning prevention and surge protection systems are used to safeguard infrastructure, assets, and personnel from the effects of lightning strikes and transient overvoltages in exposed environments. These systems reduce the likelihood of equipment damage, unplanned downtime, and safety incidents across land-based, marine, and offshore installations. Lightning prevention solutions focus on reducing the probability and impact of direct lightning attachment to structures and assets, while surge protection devices limit transient energy entering sensitive electrical, instrumentation, and communications circuits. Together, these protection approaches support reliable operation of industrial, infrastructure, and hazardous area systems by addressing both direct and indirect lightning effects. They form an important part of broader electrical protection strategies where exposure, asset criticality, and operational continuity must be carefully managed.
Lightning Prevention Systems
SERTEC S.R.L.
SERTEC S.R.L. is a specialist manufacturer of engineered lightning prevention systems designed to reduce the risk of direct lightning attachment and associated damage to critical infrastructure and exposed assets. Their solutions are applied across land-based, marine, and offshore environments where lightning exposure presents safety, operational, or asset-protection risks. SERTEC’s approach focuses on risk mitigation rather than interception, using engineered systems to reduce the probability of lightning attachment and limit the impact of lightning-related events. These systems are commonly used in critical infrastructure, industrial facilities, maritime assets, and offshore installations where continuity of operation and asset protection are essential.
Instrumentation Surge Protection
MTL Instruments
MTL Instruments is a specialist manufacturer of surge protection devices designed to protect sensitive electrical, instrumentation, and communications circuits from transient overvoltages caused by lightning events, switching operations, and electrical disturbances. MTL surge protection devices limit transient energy entering critical systems, helping to prevent equipment damage, data loss, and unplanned downtime. These products are widely applied at interfaces between field devices and control systems, particularly where long cable runs and exposed installations increase surge risk. MTL surge protection solutions complement broader lightning prevention, grounding, and hazardous area protection strategies within industrial and infrastructure environments.
