Choosing The Best Residential Or Commercial Lightning Protection System

Power surges or power spikes can occur for many different reasons. When a power surge or spike occurs, extremely high voltage comes through the mail power line into the home or business wiring and any devices connected to the electrical system.

The Problem with Surge Protectors

There are different levels of power surges, and many modern appliances are designed to handle small power spikes without any problem. However, significant power surges that occur when lightning hits the power system can damage all types of electronics, appliances, and even the wiring in a home.

Small or large surge protectors can help address this problem, but they must be added to every electrical device. Additionally, these surge protectors are limited in the voltage they can redirect into the ground wire.

Our Solution

A better option is a whole home or business lightning protection system. Our Powerworx™ e3 system provides surge and spike protection, and this is done through a metal oxide varistor, which acts as a switch when any increase in voltage is detected. This is the first of the three components that make up our Whole House Energy Management System and our commercial Powerworx Clean Power System.

Our lightning protection system instantaneously diverts the excess voltage from both the large, catastrophic types of surges associated with lightning and the smaller, daily spikes in voltage that can slowly damage your electronics.
