Lighting System Surge Protector Layout

Installing the TPS TK-TTLP-1S240-FL suppression filtering on upstream breaker panels and all processor links and dimming buses will dramatically reduce the likelihood of damage occurring. It is critical to protect any link or bus with long runs or that travels between buildings. Damage may occur because the ground reference between buildings can become separated during a lightning strike. This will produce damaging transients and is the most common type of port failure.
