Lightning protection

Protect your energizer from lightning damage with our surge protectors and surge arresters from FG Edwards. An electric fence several kilometers long acts like an antenna that picks up the energy of thunderstorms—a single nearby strike can destroy an unprotected energizer, a multi-hundred-dollar investment lost in a fraction of a second.

We offer surge protectors to install between the energizer and the fence line, and grounding protectors that divert excess energy to the ground before it reaches your device. Installing a surge protector is a simple and inexpensive precaution, especially recommended in the Eastern Townships where summer thunderstorms are frequent and can be severe.

Visit us in West Brome or Bedford to protect your investment. Also see our mains energizers and grounding components — proper grounding is your first line of defense against lightning.
