Services - Lightning And Atmospheric Physics

 

Consultancy Service in Lightning Protection

  • Investigations are undertaken to establish the cause of damage made by lightning.
  • Measurements are made on site to asses the required levels of protection.
  • Protection of buildings and structures from lightning direct hits.
  • Installation lightning arresters.
  • Protection of delicate electronic instrumentation from transients due to lightning electromagnetic pulses ( LEMP).
  • Lightning induced over voltages in power and telecommunication networks.

Consultancy Service in Electrostatics

Consultancy Services are backed by comprehensive research and development whenever necessary. Routine tests, for example power resistivity, chargeability, minimum ignition energy can be performed.

At present we are capable of dealing with following areas.

  • Hazard in powder and liquid handling
  • Dust flammability assessment
  • Fire and explosion due to electrostatic discharges
  • Anti static flooring assessment (In Electronic and Semiconductor Industry)
  • Eliminating of static charges on insulators (In Plastic Industry).


Consultancy Service in Atmospheric Physics and Atmospheric Electricity

Industrial problems associated with humidity, temperature, rainfall, atmospheric pressure, leakage currents due to ions in the atmosphere, space charge density, high electric fields corona discharge and many more can be dealt with.
