Aplicaciones Tecnológicas puts its more than 35 years of experience to offer free webinars aimed at professionals involved in the design of lightning protection systems and safety against electrical storms, design and implementation of earthing and surge protection systems.

A lightning protection system prevents a direct strike on the structure, but it does strike the lightning rod. Therefore, when a discharge occurs, the entire lightning protection system must be thoroughly checked and reset, as the integrity of critical components (lightning rods, conductors, connections, grounding, etc.) may be compromised. Following a post-impact protocol ensures that the system continues to function properly and the installation remains protected.

In an increasingly interconnected world with a growing demand for energy, traditional power grids have become obsolete. The need for more efficient, sustainable and resilient energy systems has led to the emergence of smart grids. These innovative infrastructures, which integrate information and communication technologies (ICT), promise to radically transform how we produce, distribute and consume electricity.

Surge protection devices (SPDs) are designed to minimise the destructive effects of surges on electrical and electronic equipment. There are different types of SPDs depending on the technology they include and what characterises their operation against transient overvoltages.

Despite being a hidden element, the earthing system is an essential element in the proper functioning of any electrical system. However, due to its characteristics and location, it must be correctly executed for the proper maintenance of the system, of the connected assets, and to guarantee the safety of people.
