Introduction
Welcome to the new product catalogue from Omega Red Group Ltd…
…the U.K. market leader in the design, supply, installation, test and maintenance of earthing and lightning
protection systems. Here you will find an extensive range of components, fixings and accessories, all designed
and manufactured to ensure compliance with the latest national and international standards and, when installed
and maintained correctly, to provide longevity in service, quality in performance and peace of mind.
As a prominent member of our trade federation (ATLAS), Omega Red Group Ltd has BS EN 62305
representation at BSI, CENELEC and IEC levels. To achieve compliance with BS EN 62305, surge protection
must be included as part of a lightning protection system, to safeguard the building, and the people and
equipment within it, from the damaging effects of transient over-voltages. To assist you in selecting the correct
products for your needs, an extensive range of surge protection devices can be found on pages 25 to 35 of
this catalogue.

The structural lightning protection components, fixings and accessories shown on the preceding
pages represent the most popular items used in a typical system, but this is by no means an
exhaustive list.
Should you have any requirements for structural lightning protection products not shown in
this catalogue, we would be happy to discuss these with you. Please call our sales office on
0115 877 4444 for further information or advice.
The following pages contain details of the most commonly used surge protection devices (SPDs).
To achieve compliance with BS EN 62305, such devices must be included in a lightning protection
system. Once again, further information regarding the selection and placement of suitable surge
protection devices is available from our sales office.

Surge Protection
Introduction
What are transient over-voltages?
Transient over-voltages are high magnitude voltage peaks of only micro-seconds duration, also known as
surges. Direct and indirect lightning strikes are their most common source, but they are also created with the
switching of large inductive or capacitive electrical loads within buildings.
What are the risks from transient over-voltages?
Transient over-voltages cause damage to electrical systems and equipment, and disrupt critical and operational
services, resulting in expensive downtime and repair costs. Measured against the potential losses, to business
operation or the provision of essential services, the need for protection against transient over-voltages
becomes clear.
Reducing the risks
Surge protection devices (SPDs) are divided into two basic types and each performs a critical function.
Lightning current SPDs are designed to prevent partial lightning currents from entering a structure during
lightning activity. They should be installed on all cables entering or leaving a building, either where a structural
lightning protection system is installed, or where a building is supplied via overhead cables. Cable entry and
exit locations can be at ground, side and roof levels.
Transient over-voltage SPDs are designed to reduce the risk of damage to electrical systems and equipment,
from the secondary effects of indirect lightning and switching transients. They should be installed locally to
protect critical electrical and electronic equipment or, where cables enter or leave a building when there is no
structural lightning protection.
Solution
For outstanding protection against transient over-voltages, Omega can supply all of your surge protection
requirements, as all of our products are sourced directly from leading manufacturers. SPDs from Omega
offer a cost effective and best engineered solution. Compliance with BS EN 62305 can be achieved where
they are installed as part of a lightning protection system. Being virtually maintenance-free, and with repeated
protection built-in as standard, SPDs from Omega Red Group Ltd offer the best choice to achieve long-lasting,
cost-effective protection against transient over-voltages.
