When it comes to protection against lightning and power surges, many people look for quick, low-cost solutions, such as a lightning protection socket or a power strip with protection. But is this really enough to secure a home, business or industrial plant?
Let’s find out the truth behind these solutions and why Euthalia Antimpatto® technology is the only real alternative for complete protection.
What is a surge protector?
A surge protector is a socket (or power strip) equipped with a surge protection device (SPD), designed to absorb current surges. It is useful for minor disturbances in the network, such as:
- micro-interruptions
- disturbances from household appliances
- minor induced surges
However, it is not designed to cope with a real lightning strike, which can reach hundreds of millions of volts.
When does a socket spark?
A socket or power strip can spark when:
- it is overloaded with too many connected devices
- there is a sudden power surge
- there is moisture or oxidation in the contacts
- the grounding system is inadequate
If your socket “trips” or sparks, this is a sign that should not be ignored: it indicates a real risk of short circuit, fire or electrical damage.
Why a lightning protection socket alone is not enough
A surge arrester inserted into a multiple socket can dampen minor voltage spikes. But against a direct lightning strike, the energy involved is so high that it exceeds the protection capabilities of a simple socket or multiple socket.
What’s more, the damage is not only electrical: it can affect systems, structures and people, with serious consequences even at a distance.
✅ The Euthalia solution: much more than a surge protector
Euthalia has developed a patented technology capable of true prevention, not just damage mitigation.
With the Antimpatto® system, lightning is neutralised before it is generated. No deviation. No impact. No risk.
In combination, the Euthalia earth filter guarantees maximum efficiency of the electrical system, improving energy quality and reducing any electromagnetic interference.
