Surge protector for gate motors

Surge protector for gate motors, Buy Centurion Gate Motors from our Dayari Technologies shop in Nairobi Kenya at discounted prices today

Besides the obvious inconvenience of power outages (and the attendant traffic nightmare!), the voltage spike when the power comes back on can irreparably damage electronic equipment, including gate motor controllers.

Introducing our brand new plug-in surge protector for gate motors.

This incredibly clever device simply plugs into your mains connector, and offers reliable protection against lightning strikes, voltage spikes and incoming power fluctuations with seamless integration with CENTURION gate motors including the D5-Evo, D10 and D10 Turbo.

Our surge protector for gate motors makes your life easier by saving on installation time with virtually no wiring required, and is your gate motor’s first line of defence against potentially destructive power surges.

CENTURION’s surge protector for gate motors has an internal temperature fuse that will disconnect the power to the device in the event of an overload or fault, ensuring that the plastic housing won’t catch fire. This technology makes for a particularly safe energy suppression solution. The system works by diverting surge energy to earth before it reaches the gate motor controller.

How to Protect a Gate Opener From Lightning

Things You’ll Need

• 8-foot ground rod
• Hammer
• Ground rod connector
• Screwdriver
• 8-feet of #6 AWG bare copper wire
• Wire cutters

Outdoor gate openers require protection from lightning as part of the electrical installation. The National Electrical Code (NEC) regulates all electrical installations in many nations including Kenya.

Electrically driven machinery that is permanently mounted outdoors falls under Article 675 of the NEC. Article 675-15 explains lightning protection and the installation of a ground rod placed near the stationary portion of the equipment.

A long metal ground rod carries lightning safely into the earth when properly installed. The actual installation of the ground rod and subsequent wiring must follow rules dictated under Article 250-f, “Methods of Grounding.”

Step 1

Place the end point of the 8-foot-long ground rod no closer than 6 feet from the stationary point of the electrically driven gate opener.

This should be the main electrical connection box on the gate opener control mechanism, where all electrical connections are made for the unit.

In other words, the ground rod must be kept 6 feet away from the main electrical box of the gate opener.

Step 2

Pound the ground rod into the soil using the hammer. Keep the ground rod as vertically level as possible. Leave the top 3 inches of the ground rod exposed above ground.

Step 3

Attach the ground connector to the exposed portion of the rod using the screwdriver. Tighten the two screws to hold the wire connector securely to the rod.

Step 4

Insert one end of the #6 AWG bare copper wire into the wire connector on the ground rod. Tighten the screw to hold the wire in place.

Step 5

Run the #6 AWG bare copper wire in a direct as line as possible to the gate opener’s electrical connection box. Cut the wire to length with the wire cutters.

Step 6

Connect the bare copper wire to the metal electrical box mechanically. This can be done by loosening one of the mounting screws that holds the electrical box to the metal frame of the gate opener.

Wind the end of the #6 AWG bare copper wire around the mounting screw and tighten into place. Ensure that a good mechanical bond is kept when tightening the screw.

Tip

If two gate openers are employed, a separate ground rod must be installed for each piece of equipment as described above.

The lightning ground must not be used as the sole grounding point for the gate opener’s electrical system as per Section 250-86 of the NEC.

A separate grounding conductor must run from the electrical panel, source electricity for the gate opener, and be connected to all metal parts on the gate opener’s electrical system.

Contact your local electrical regulating agency as local rules may supersede those printed in the NEC.

If you are unsure about grounding techniques for electrical systems; contact a licensed electrician to connect equipment for you. AWG is the American Wire Gauge standard.

Are surge protectors worth it?

They’re beneficial in the long run, too. Surge protectors help extend the lifespan of your electronics. Power strikes and surges put your electronics at risk. Lightning strikes, power outages, grid malfunctions, and several other electrical problems cause spikes.

What does surge protection protect against?

What is the main purpose of a surge protector?

A typical surge protector passes the electrical current along the outlet to number of the devices plugged into the power strip.

If the voltage happens to rise above the acceptable level, the protector will divert the extra electricity into the outlets grounding wire.
