Power surges or transient overvoltages can be caused in two ways: either as the secondary effect of a lightning strike (up to a kilometre away), or by the electrical switching of large inductive loads (such as motors and transformers). They may last less than a fraction of a second but they are powerful and potentially highly destructive causing:

• Disruption to system operations
• Degradation of equipment components
• Destroying components and circuit boards
• Causing costly and unnecessary downtime

Nimbus LP can supply and install effective protection from lightning surges and overvoltages using components supplied by leading surge protection manufacturers designed specifically for:

• Mains power supplies
• Data and telecoms equipment
• Computer networks
• RF, CCTV, rail and CATV systems

We at Nimbus can provide a ‘free of charge’ site survey for our customers together with a supply only service which offers significant discounts from the UK’s main transient/surge suppliers.

Additionally we offer an installation service which can include ‘out of hours’ working to meet our customers requirements during those all too infrequent ‘shut-down’ maintenance periods.
