Grounding network design and lightning protection

Electrical engineering specialized in protection systems

Electrical protection built into your infrastructure design

We integrate grounding and lightning protection systems to contribute to the safety of people, equipment and your infrastructure.

Grounding network design and lightning protection

At Grupo Arcondec, we design grounding systems for data centers, industry and mission-critical environments. We develop solutions according to the characteristics of each facility, considering personnel safety, equipment protection and integration with electrical infrastructure.

Our scope includes grounding systems, protection against insulation faults, isolated grounding for specific applications and lightning protection. We coordinate these elements with electrical distribution and equipment requirements to establish an integrated solution.

We define system configuration and technical criteria during engineering, facilitating implementation and coordination with other project disciplines.

Grounding network engineering and design

We develop the grounding network configuration according to site characteristics and facility requirements. We define conductor, electrode and connection layouts, incorporating technical documentation to guide execution and coordination with electrical infrastructure.

Grounding systems

We design grounding systems to connect equipment, structures and conductive elements within the installation. We consider protective connections and equipotential bonding as part of the design, helping reduce potential differences that could pose a risk.

Protection against insulation faults

We integrate grounding and equipment bonding criteria to contribute to protection against electrical insulation faults. We coordinate these measures with the installation’s protective devices, supporting disconnection of the affected circuit when appropriate.

Isolated grounding for specialized equipment

We develop isolated grounding (IG) solutions for equipment and circuits that require them according to the project. We define conductors and routes, maintaining integration with the overall grounding system and considering the technical requirements of connected equipment.

Lightning protection

We design lightning protection systems, integrating air termination devices, down conductors and their connection to the grounding system. We coordinate their placement with building and installation characteristics to reduce risks associated with lightning strikes.

Coordinated protection for people and infrastructure

Electrical protection requires grounding, connections between conductive elements and protective devices to work together. At Arcondec, we integrate these criteria from the design stage to address the risks and specific needs of each project.

Personnel safety

We consider grounding and protective connections to help reduce risks from contact with metal parts that may become energized during a fault.

Integrated protection for equipment and facilities

We coordinate the grounding network with electrical infrastructure and lightning protection. This approach addresses different risks under a common engineering framework.

Technical foundations for future interventions

Design documentation facilitates identification of system connections, routes and components. This supports planning of inspections, modifications and expansions while preserving project protection criteria.
