South Africa is one of the most lightning-prone regions in the world. Given this, external lightning protection systems (ELPS) are essential in mitigating risk to buildings, electrical installations, and occupants. ELPS solutions from ACDC Dynamics are engineered to safely intercept and direct lightning currents into the ground, protecting structures and critical systems.
Its range includes high-quality air terminals, down conductors, and earthing systems that comply with SANS and IEC standards. The goal is not to prevent lightning from striking – it is to provide a safe, controlled pathway that channels the energy away from sensitive areas.
Copper braids: flexible, high-conductivity earthing solutions
Effective earthing relies on strong, conductive connections, and copper braids remain a preferred solution across industries. These flexible, multi-stranded conductors are ideal for bonding components, connecting moving parts, and ensuring a low-resistance path to earth in demanding environments.
ACDC Dynamics offers a wide range of copper braids designed for durability, flexibility, and maximum conductivity. Whether used in switchgear, control panels, or lightning protection systems, these components play a vital role in achieving continuity, reducing electromagnetic interference, and enhancing safety.
Surge protection: safeguarding electronic assets
In today’s interconnected world, even brief voltage spikes can cause significant damage to sensitive electronic systems. Surge protection devices (SPDs) are designed to limit overvoltage by diverting transient energy safely to earth – protecting equipment and minimising downtime.
ACDC Dynamics’ SPD range includes solutions for power systems, data lines, and telecommunication networks. From modular DIN-rail units to application-specific protectors, ACDC Dynamics ensures comprehensive coverage against surges caused by lightning, grid switching, and internal equipment faults.
The ACDC Dynamics difference
“What sets ACDC Dynamics apart is our commitment to delivering more than just products – we provide end-to-end protection solutions backed by technical expertise and national support,” the company said. With an extensive product portfolio, knowledgeable consultants, and ongoing investment in training and innovation, it is well-positioned to support engineers, contractors, and facility managers in meeting today’s safety and compliance requirements.
