For this week’s post, BlitzTek was asked, by a product manager of SPD’s with a leading manufacturer of (SPDs), to discuss the correct cable length that should be used to install SPDs, why this is important, and what effect this has on the efficiency of the SPD.

Happy Easter Holidays!
For our slot this week, BlitzTek will be addressing a topic that we haven’t touched on as yet in this series - . Accordingly, our question for today is ‘what is an earthing system’?
Today’s is an interesting one for those ceraunophiles amongst us (that is, a person who loves lightning and thunder).
For this week, our question for BlitzTek is:
What is a local lightning warning system, and why is it needed?
Today we celebrate importance of respect, dignity & equality for all.
BlitzTek is pleased to announce that we have a well-known specialist in the field, Cameron Taylor from , a global market leader and innovator for , networking, and automation, addressing today’s question.

Happy International Women's Day 2023

This week BlitzTek is asking you, our reader, to be the authority in our series. Over the past few weeks, we’ve covered several and topics, from the difference between surge protective devices (SPD) and uninterruptible power supplies (UPSes), why we need to prefuse surge arresters, why SPDs are important, lighting protection zones, and more. In one of our site surveys last week, we came across a distribution board with three different manufacturers' SPDs (see main picture in post). So for today’s post, we’re putting you to the test, to see how well you’ve paid attention to the information our experts have shared up to now. Can you tell us what is wrong in this picture? Comment below if you think you’re right!
In South Africa, our electrical and electronic systems are being more and more frequently exposed to high-energy temporary overvoltage, resulting from increasingly common discharge currents.
Whether it’s a residential home, shopping complex, or manufacturing plant, lightning does not discriminate.
In today’s edition of BlitzTek’s , we’ll look at the zone (LPZ) concept and how it can be used to gradually reduce lightning energy within a building to a safe level in order to minimise damage, with thanks to information from Phoenix Contact.
