FAQ's


1. What is a lightning arrestor and how does it protect electrical systems?
A lightning arrestor protects electrical systems by diverting high-voltage surges, such as lightning strikes, safely to the ground.
2. Where can I buy a reliable lightning arrestor in Australia?
You can buy a reliable lightning arrestor in Australia from Fastron Electronics, a trusted supplier of surge protection solutions.
3. What is the purpose of an overvoltage protector in electrical circuits?
An overvoltage protector limits excessive voltage in a circuit to prevent damage to connected devices and components.
4. How does a surge protection device prevent damage to electronic equipment?
A surge protection device (SPD) detects and redirects excess voltage to earth, preventing it from reaching sensitive equipment.
5. Can I use a lightning arrestor in both residential and industrial applications?
Yes, a lightning arrestor can be used in both residential and industrial setups to protect against high-voltage surges.
6. How do overvoltage protectors differ from surge protection devices?
Overvoltage protectors focus on limiting continuous overvoltages, while surge protection devices react to sudden voltage spikes like lightning or switching surges.
7. Are surge protection devices necessary for all electrical systems?
Yes, surge protection devices are recommended for all electrical systems to ensure safety and protect valuable equipment.
8. What is the typical lifespan of a lightning arrestor?
The lifespan of a lightning arrestor depends on usage and exposure, but regular inspection is advised for ongoing protection.
9. Can a lightning arrestor be used for both low and high-voltage systems?
Yes, lightning arrestors can be used across low and high-voltage systems depending on the specific rating and application.
10. Do you offer overvoltage protectors that comply with Australian electrical standards?
Yes, overvoltage protectors available at Fastron Electronics are designed to comply with Australian standards and performance requirements.
11. How do I install a surge protection device in my electrical system?
To install a surge protection device, connect it between neutral and earth or line and earth, according to your system configuration.
12. Are surge protection devices effective in protecting against lightning strikes?
Yes, surge protection devices help protect against lightning-induced surges by safely diverting excess voltage away from circuits.
13. What voltage ratings are available for lightning arrestors and surge protectors?
Lightning arrestors and surge protectors are available in various voltage ratings. Contact Fastron Electronics for model-specific details.
14. Can an overvoltage protector be used with sensitive electronics like computers?
Yes, an overvoltage protector is suitable for protecting sensitive electronics like computers from harmful voltage spikes.
15. What are the maintenance requirements for surge protection devices?
Surge protection devices should be inspected regularly to ensure functionality and replaced if worn or after major surge events.
