20120154971 | Programmable Lightning Detector - A system and method for protecting devices and equipment from lightning strikes is disclosed. The protection device provides real-time monitoring of local atmospheric conditions to protect sensitive power-supply and control equipment. Embodiments of the device may be triggered by the detection of an actual lightning strike or an abrupt change in atmospheric charging that could indicate the presence of lightning conditions. The device provides lightning protection by isolating control, power, and signal circuits from external conductors and placing them in safe operating conditions for the duration of lightning strike event. Embodiments of the device may include onboard surge suppression in addition to lightning detection and protection. The device may be integrated into customer control equipment and is fully automatic. Without requiring operator intervention, the system restores normal operation when lightning events are no longer detected. | 06-21-2012 |
