Striking the Earth an estimated 9,000,000 times

each day, lightning is the most spectacular

electrical display nature has to offer. Lightning

is also one of the primary causes of station-

damaging electrical surges, along with line

surges and power transients. Flowtronex' Surge

and Lightning Advanced Protection, orS.LA.R,

provides your pump station with superior

protection from these dangers.

Clouds, like everything in nature, carry an

electrical charge, either positive or negative,

and it's a natural tendency for opposite charges

to try to reach equilibrium. Lightning is a result

of the sudden atmospheric discharge of natural

electricity that occurs when the difference

between a charged storm cloud and a grounded

object is great enough. This discharge manifests

itself as lightning as it seeks a grounded object

through which it can immediately dissipate its

energy. Any grounded object, or something

providing an electrical current with a connection

to the Earth like a tree or a pump station, is

susceptible to lightning strikes.

S.L.A.P. helps protect your pump station from

lightning and power surges by minimizing the

amount of "pass voltage" that reaches the

station. Pass voltage is defined as the voltage

not absorbed or shunted to ground during an

event. Generally, the amount of pass voltage a

device permits is based on its ability to quickly

absorb heat, which is the form the excess energy

takes when it hits a surge protection device.

Tested against comparable suppressors, S.L.A.P.

maintained the lowest pass voltage while the

device suffered the least post-strike performance

degradation.* This is often the crucial difference

among surge suppressors as, contrary to myth,

lightning usually strikes the same place multiple

times. A suppressor's low pass voltage rating

can be meaningless if a second strike sends

thousands of volts unchecked into your sensitive

electrical controls.

Protecting your pump station against such

unpredictable natural hazards as lightning is a

simple investment. S.L.A.P. provides both fong-

life and a broad range of protection for your

sensitive electrical equipment.
