QUOTE(tengster @ May 28 2014, 07:47 PM) Beside Tokai, Pekat teknologi is another competent contractor. Basically they use similar products i.e. furse, novaris and approved equivalent..... I used Pekat Teknologi to install Surge Protection and Lightning Protection for Setia Eco Park home as the home (3 storey high with lift) is higher than the 2 storey homes nearby. Expensive but with lightning flashing around during thunderstorms ... (Weather is not like when I was a young man. Nowadays heavier rains and frequent close-by lightning strikes.)

QUOTE(tengster @ May 29 2014, 05:18 PM) hebronep - So far, any problems....any damage incurred? I think the weather is the same lah. Just that nowadays we have more sensitive equipment that are prone to surge damage. Last time, we still swim naked in river or ex-ming pool despite thunder clapping kau kau...or we are still playing bola sepak lumpur till dusk ro gelap. Theorectically, yearly maintenance is required to verify the earthing conductivity, continuity of the Faraday cage (from top to ground) and also to check on the SPD......This may cost some money. No problems so far ( 3+ years). I also installed a lighting monitor (on-top of copper cable from roof to ground copper rods) which reads how many direct lightning strike on the home. I will read next time I am in Eco Park home. Surge protection will filter out all the power line communication signals. No use to use power line communications if you intend to install surge protection. Better to position the wireless router in optimum location such that reasonable signals can be received in all parts of the home.
