Critical Circuits Info

LIGHTNING PROTECTION CORPORATION (LPC) designs and manufactures surge protective devices (SPD) for critical electrical and electronic applications. The customer specifies the criteria, to which LPC responds with a proposed SPD product design. The product may be available as a shelf item, a modified shelf item, or an entirely new item/design. There is no tooling or engineering charge to the customer for new designs. The applications may be industrial, commercial, government, military for AC power, DC power, Communication and Signal, RF coaxial, and electronics.
