NVent Erico Residential Lightning And Surge Suppression Solutions:

HOW TO PROVIDE PROTECTION

A direct strike lightning protection installation for the home consists of the following four essential components.  (standard practice is defined within the UL96A installation requirements for lightning protection systems)

Erico Cadweld Impulse Igniter 

Our latest innovation, nVent ERICO Cadweld Plus Impulse, brings you the highest level of flexibility and ease of use of any of our ignition systems. Precision engineered, the Impulse ignition system lets you choose your power source: from off-the-shelf AA-batteries to the rechargeable Lithium-Ion packs you have on your job site.

• A self-closing trigger guard prevents accidental ignition, providing added safety
• LED ignition counter provides instant feedback on the timing of the ignition and is visible in sunny outdoor conditions
• A five-second delay in the ignition is a safety feature to allow the user to stop ignition, if necessary
• Battery life indicator integrated into the unit for real-time updates on battery life; compatible with both AA and rechargeable batteries
• Rechargeable batteries from Milwaukee® or DEWALT® can be used to power approximately 1500 connections using a 4Ah battery

Cadweld Consolidation Program

Ensure that your entire team is trained on one product, rather than several redundant products so that your team will be able to perform very consistent exothermic welds. Consolidating to one product ensures that consistency across your organization.

Cadweld Certification Course:

In as little as a half-hour, we can certify your team of electricians so that they can achieve a high percent ratio of quality welds, know how to troubleshoot challenges that they’re faced with in the field and overcome them, and understand the list of tools necessary to safely perform exothermic welding.

A Case for Lightning Protection on Facilities:

Reliable protection of structures, industrial and commercial operations and personnel demands a systematic and comprehensive approach to minimizing threats caused by transients.  Lightning protection is recommended in much of the Rocky Mountains per the NFPA 780 risk assessment and is specified on numerous facilities being built in the area. There are also numerous older facilities with an incomplete or no system that provide a substantial growth opportunity for you in this market.

Erico Surge protection

Modern industry relies heavily on electronic automation to increase productivity, ensure safety and provide economic benefits. However, power circuits are often severely polluted with electrical disturbances from switching of electrical loads, electrical noise and even the occasional induced impulse. Since the safety and economic consequences of temporary or permanent failure of industrial equipment cannot be tolerated, protection devices should be installed on critical power circuits. nVent ERICO offers a complete line of surge protection devices that can be coordinated into an effectively staged electrical protection plan. nVent ERICO offers power surge protection solutions in a coordinated approach where the first stage of defense is the installation of primary protection devices at the mains supply service entrance, followed by secondary protection at distribution branch panels and where necessary, at point-of-use applications.
