We will look at several surge protection and lightning protection schemes that would be suited for data centers. The course will explain technologies in products and systems offered by nVent that are suited to data center applications. We will demonstrate risk assessment tools for determining the required protection level to meet Australian Standard AS1768 and Standard IEC62305. Methods using dedicated lightning protection as well as structural components will be shown to comply with these standards. We will also discuss nVent ERICO Proprietary System 3000 system and nVent ERICO Isolated Lightning Protection Systems for applications where the energy needs to be isolated from structures.
