The Applied Technical Services Family of Companies offers indirect lightning testing to assess how lightning-induced currents affect electronic equipment. Indirect lightning strikes send currents through the ground or structures, potentially causing electrical surges and equipment failures. Our lab helps clients verify their equipment can withstand these effects.
What is an Indirect Lightning Test?
Indirect lightning tests simulate the effects indirect lightning strikes have on electronic equipment. The tests enable experts to observe and document the equipmentโs reaction to high current and high voltage pulses. Technicians can complete indirect lightning tests on entire electrical systems or their individual cables and components. The information collected during indirect lightning tests helps ensure that electronic systems have the proper protections in place to shield them from lightning-related electrical issues.
