Facility Electrical Protection for the 21st Century Total Facility Protection The consequences of an unexpected lightning strike or power surge can be catastrophic for a facility: ? Personnel are at risk. ? Critical equipment may be damaged or destroyed. ? Data can be corrupted. ? The costs of operational downtime and lost revenue can be very substantial. As industries become more dependent on increasingly sensitive equipment, proper protection from lightning and dangerous over- voltage transients is necessary. With over

60 years of research, testing and product development, Pentair has acknowledged that no single technology can totally eliminate vulnerability to lightning and surges. The Pentair Six Point Plan of Protection is designed to provide total facility protection by integrating several concepts. The Six Point Plan will minimize the risk of damage to facilities through: ? Direct Strike Protection ? Grounding and Bonding ? Surge and Over-voltage Transient Protection Because lightning protection, grounding, equipotential bonding and surge protection are all interdependent technologies, reliable protection of structures and operations demands an integrated system approach. Today, the consequences of an unexpected lightning strike or power surge can be catastrophic for a company. Proper protection can save thousands of dollars in damage, operational downtime and lost business opportunities. Pentair Engineered Electrical &
