While the oil and gas sector plays a pivotal role in the industry, it is also a dangerous one. According to the National Disaster Management Authority (NDMA), in the last decade, 130 significant chemical accidents have been reported, which resulted in 259 deaths and 563 people with major injuries.

Lightning Risk assessment along with BOQ and tentative design will be available in < 99 seconds of providing the inputs.It is reliable - Data Safety, Password Protected & OTP credentials on the registered mobile number.Easy to review - Unique dashboard available for each user.

Faulty electrical outlets and old, outdated equipment are the leading causes of electrical fires. Never use a device with a broken or damaged cable because it can cause a fire by sending heat to flammable surfaces including floors, drapes, and carpets.

JEF TECHNO has developed software to do your RISK ASSESSMENT to make this process very simple for you. The MOST EXCITING thing about our software is you can perform the entire risk assessment and even generate the “Bill of Materials” & “Report” within 5 minutes.

Accurate data plays a crucial role in designing a lightning protection system and is the essential deciding factor in the later stage of the design. Therefore, the invaluable data to be collected involves dimensions, location, and environmental components of the building/ structure.

In power theory, power factor (PF) refers to the ratio of working power in watts (KW) to perceived power in kilovolt amperes (KVA).The Power factor value computed by utilities for penalty/incentive is called the Total Power Factor.

The process of electrical energy transmission is known as earthing. Electrical energy is discharged into the soil with the aid of a low resistance cable.By allowing direct channel for current to travel to the ground, these systems safeguard workers and electrical equipment from shock or damage.

When it comes to “Concept selling product” like SPDs, customer depends more on the vendors as there are many new technologies & standards. Some vendors try to influence the customer with their product without giving any proof or supporting document from Standards.

The selection & installation of SPD is a Specialist job, as the installer shall have thorough knowledge on the current Indian & international standards along with hands-on experience because there are challenges related to each site.

A variety of devices provides over-current protection, but Surge protection devices are the only ones that can safeguard sensitive electronic equipment from overvoltage caused by contaminated power sources and the increasing use of non-linear devices.

It is well-known fact that lightning surges are more destructive than switching surges. Research reveals that switching surges cause far more faults and early failures of sensitive electronic and electrical equipment than lightning surges because there are many sources of switching surges.

CNC stands for computer numerical control, which is the automated control of machining instruments like drills, lathes, mills, and 3D printers using a computer. The introduction of CNC machines during the 1950s has radically changed the manufacturing industry.

In the recent article, we read about the sources of surges in Industrial & Commercial Power Systems. In this article, we will analyses solutions to protect electronic equipment from surges.

Lightning surge protector devices excess voltage and current from transient and surge events diverted onto grounding wire, stopping them from passing through electrical and electronic equipment while allowing regular voltage to continue on its course.

Earthing is always the first line of defense when it comes to electrical safety.Reliability of the LV is a very important and essential electrical safety and stability.It is understood and accepted that a reliable Earthing system is required for the safety of humans and equipment that are connectedwith an electrical system.

“Isolated” or “Independent” Earth electrode is nothing but an ‘Electrically independent” earth electrode, which by definition is totally different from the “myth” or what we perceive generally. An earthing &grounding system connects certain elements of an electric power system to the ground, generally the Earth's conductive surface.

Lightning surges from Mother Nature & switching surges from radiation or generated internally & propagated through metallic structures pose an enormous problem to windmill electronics as the “height” of the windmill and exposed nature of installation plays a crucial role in inviting surges.

Soil resistivity is a measurement of the resistance or electric current that the soil conducts.The design of a system based on passing current across the surface of the earth is a key component.

Lightning is a natural phenomenon involving a very high quantum of destructive energy. Lightning is unavoidable. Practical and reliable protection is the only solution. The flash is generated by a thunderstorm conflicting loads in the sky.

Grounding is always the first line of defense in terms of electrical safety. For the safety of persons and equipment and the timely functioning of protection equipment connected to the electrical system a good grounding system needed.

An effective grounding system is a fundamental requirement of any electrical systems for operational and safety aspects. Every electrical installation is required to have a good and reliable earthing system.

As we discussed in our earlier blog how the working principle of SPD is different from Fuse. Read Solutions to avoid Surges in Industrial and Commercial power systems to understand the difference between SPD & Fuse.

A lightning protection system is designed to safeguard properties from fire or electrical damage, also to keep people from being injured or killed in buildings.Internal and exterior lightning protection, such as Earthing and Surge protection are included in a lightning protection system.

Retail industry covers a wide range of service outlets & variety of businesses such as department & apparel stores, supermarkets, warehouses etc.Commercial buildings in the retail industry are full of combustible products such as clothing, rubber, and goods, thus an electrical safety audit is required for the protection.

Earth-pits are the most common type of earthing, especially for electrical networks. The practice of connecting earthing to a neutral point is known as grounding.

The technology to achieve good earthing mainly depends on the Backfill Compound. Soil treatment for good earthing is a positive technique of improving the resistance of earth electrodes.JEF ECO-SAFE Grounding system is truly MAINTENANCE FREE.
