Frequently Asked Questions
Which capabilities does the Smart Lightning Protection category list?
The category lists 5 capabilities: SPD online monitoring, lightning-current capture, real-time ground-resistance sensing, life prediction and a lightning-protection cloud platform. Read as one loop, they turn installed hardware into status that is reported continuously.
Which 3 measurement topics underpin Smart Lightning Protection work?
Electrical signal capture, virtual-power-plant data and SPD online monitoring. Measurement comes first, because 10uA-level leakage detection with lightning-current peak capture supplies the two events every later judgment needs: the slow drift and the strike itself.
How is a recorded lightning current used beyond counting strikes?
A recorded strike current shows which path the discharge took, so an incident can be classified as a direct hit or a discharge from the earthing side instead of being argued over. Monthly trend and 10uA-scale leakage readings then show whether the SPD is inside its expected life.
Why does an SPD need continuous monitoring instead of an annual test?
Because SPD degradation, rising leakage current and ground-resistance change are invisible between annual checks, and a spent device looks identical to a healthy one. A capture range from 10uA to 100MHz keeps both the slow drift and the transient visible, so replacement gets a date.
Can a passed visual inspection still hide a dead SPD?
Yes: a spent SPD, a drifting earth resistance or a degraded module leave no visible trace, so a walk-round proves appearance rather than protection. The measurable version is 5 values reported continuously - leakage, strike current, ground resistance, SPD status and life estimate.
