Industrial Facilities

Industrial plants rely on sensitive control systems that are highly vulnerable to surges. LPI reduces downtime, minimises fire risk in hazardous areas, and maintains the safe, resilient operations that keep production running, from refineries to manufacturing lines.

The risk

Damage cascades fast across a plant

Induced transients move through interconnected systems at the speed of light, reaching motors, circuit boards, networks and safety instrumentation within microseconds.

Electrical equipment damage

Control systems, motors, transformers and circuit boards degrade under repeated surges driving costly repairs.

Communication disruption

Surges take out telephone, internet and radio, isolating plant operators from control rooms and external support.

Environmental impact

Strike-induced failures in hazardous-material facilities can cause chemical spills or fugitive emissions.

Data loss

Surges corrupt or destroy data on servers, historians and SCADA archives, affecting compliance reporting.
