Lightning Protection Products

VFC Lightning Protection system components
are the highest quality available today, and
many are state-of-the-art, exclusive to VFC.
With the help of our manufacturing partners,
new and improved products and methods are
constantly under development. For todays
modern industrial facilities, conventional
approaches to Lightning Protection are often
impractical or even impossible. We have
teamed up with the international leader in
Lightning Protection technology, ABB, to
provide these facilities with Total Site and
Facility Protection. The ABB OPR Lightning
Protection system is the world leading
technology for this application, and ABB
chose the VFC Lightning Protection team to
implement it in the United States.

Lightning Warning Products

We are proud to partner with Applications
Technologies as our Lightning Warning
Solution.

ATStorm

Most Advanced System

The ATStormv2 is a state-of-the-art,

patented, site-specific solution, that is the most
technologically advanced Lightning Warning
System available today.
Real-time information about approaching
thunderstorms allows for preventive measures
to be taken to protect todays modern
operations against catastrophic loss.
Populated open air locations that do not have
functional Lighting protection systems should
implement safety measures to prevent fatalities
or serious injury.
Lightning Warning is a key part of Total Site
and Facility Protection for sensitive electronics,
including prevention of losses to industrial
processes, assuring basic service continuity,
and prevention of serious personal injury.

t.800.825.1948 f. 801.292.4164 sales@vfcinc.com

ATStorm Cost Effective

Our ATSTORMv2 Lightning Warning System
alleviates challenges faced when determining
when to halt or even postpone everyday
operations. Additionally, the ATStormv2
virtually pays for itself after one use. Industry
leaders across the nation have achieved peace
of mind by protecting their employees and
customers, infrastructures and equipment by
installing ATSTORMv2 as part of their Total Site
and Facility Protection Plan.

Lightning Warning Interface

Alarm levels are configurable so it is easily
adapted to the users needs. The typical levels
recommended by EN50536 Lightning Warning
Standard are implemented as predetermined
values in the equipment.
When the risk of lightning strike is high, or when
a given alarm level is reached, ATSTORMv2
can be programmed to execute different
automatic actions, for example:

Send an SMS

Activate an audible and/or visual

alarm

Connect UPS and generators

Disconnect sensitive equipment

SURGE SUPPRESSION
SOLUTIONS
Maintaining our dedication and belief in providing solutions that secure operations and protect
infrastructures, is further proven by our partnership with the industrys top leaders in surge suppression.
Our team includes T&B and PolyPhaser who share our belief in challenging the status quo by
continuing to design innovative engineered products. These products complement our Total Site and
Facility Protection Systems.
Large single surge events such as lightning can reach millions of volts and cause immediate or
intermittent equipment failure. Lightning and utility power anomalies account for 20% of transient
surges while the other 80% are produced internally in a facility. Although small in size, they are
higher in occurrence. Our surge protective devices and designs protect against these transient surge
conditions and are a key component of a Total Site and Facility Protection System.
