Abstract :
Without clean power, petroleum and petrochemical equipment is subject to possible upset or catastrophic failure. To cost-effectively eliminate power disturbances due to lightning, fast ringing transients and electrical noise, the use of surge protection devices at building entrance feeders, key branch panels, critical loads and communication lines is recommended. Their use improves the operating reliability of electronic equipment
