Lightning strikes. Systems stay safe.
Lightning strikes. Systems stay safe.
Surges and lightning strikes can threaten uptime in any facility. nVent ERICO surge protective devices and lightning protection systems capture and divert dangerous energy before it damages equipment. The result is safer crews, longer equipment life, and operations that keep running. Summit Electric Supply provides ERICO surge and lightning protection products so you can equip facilities with confidence and keep operations running.

nVent ERICO Surge & Lightning Protection Benefits
nVent ERICO Surge & Lightning Protection Benefits
- Downtime Prevention - single lightning strike or electrical surge can cost thousands in lost productivity. ERICO systems stop dangerous energy before it reaches equipment, keeping crews safe and operations online.
- Lightning Defense - Engineered air terminals, conductors, and grounding systems capture and dissipate up to 100,000 volts safely, providing proven protection against direct strikes for towers, plants, and commercial buildings.
- Surge Protection - Multi stage suppression shields panels, MCCs, data networks, and controls from hidden transients. ERICO devices respond in nanoseconds to prevent damage to sensitive electronics.
- Code Compliance - UL 1449, IEEE, IEC, and NEC 2023 compliant with full documentation to make inspection and approval simple.
- Equipment Protection - Protects mission critical electronics, SCADA systems, PLCs, and motor controls so facilities run longer with fewer failures.
- Integrated Coverage - Coordinated surge and lightning systems cover service entrances, distribution panels, and point of use equipment for complete facility protection.
- Visual Assurance - Status indicators, surge counters, and replaceable modules make it easy to confirm protection is active and reliable.
- Insurance Savings - Many systems qualify for reduced premiums and include warranty coverage for connected equipment.
- Fire Prevention - Fail-safe thermal disconnects prevent surge devices from overheating and creating secondary hazards.
