ALLTEC Protection Pyramid
Why the Pyramid?
The ALLTEC Protection Pyramid® is a comprehensive three-tiered framework designed to protect facilities–both man and machine–from lightning and non-lightning induced transient voltage damage. Each level represents a solution utilized to protect facilities from harmful electrical events:
- Tier I, grounding/earthing and bonding;
Tier II, surge suppression;
Tier III, lightning protection.
Rather than viewing these tiers as independent, we treat the layers as interlocking components. Only when all three tiers are designed, installed, and maintained as a total system, comprehensive facility protection is achievable.
Safeguard valuable assets, defend critical electronics, and protect business operations using the ALLTEC Protection Pyramid. Our Protection Pyramid uses ALLTEC’s proven products and services for grounding, surge suppression, and lightning protection to provide full infrastructure protection.
Comprehensive Three-tiered Approach
ALLTEC’s experienced and accredited engineering and project management teams apply this framework while working with clients to develop the best solutions for every situation. Our customized site design & engineering solutions use the entire pyramid to develop engineered solutions that encompass grounding system, surge suppression, and lightning protection.
