Duval Messien, a world leader in lightning protection and specialist in earthing systems, has unveiled a new solution to combat electrical fires.

In the UAE, the salt-based solutions continue to be the most preferred choice for its lower cost. But this requires regular maintenance and the existing system often do not meet the international standards as required by the expensive electrical appliances in our offices and homes, the company said in a statement.

Duval Messien’s Terec + is the ideal high-tech earthing system delivering a maintenance-free solution for up to 10 years, it added.

Terec+ achieves resistance acceptable to any international body, maintains the ionic level of the soil over long-term and ensures the moisture content along with the ability to constantly diffuse excessive electric flow in the neighboring soil, the company said.

With this artificial treatment (as recommended by IEEE 80-2000 Clause 14.6.d) resistance can be reduced by 65-95 per cent, it added.

“Good earthing not only protects your property from electrical faults which may permanently damage it but also saves lives from electric shocks. Terec + is a trusted brand of earthing mix that comes highly recommended by laboratories across the globe, for its efficacy in various terrains similar to ours in the region. Most importantly it is also a cost effective long-term solution,” said Duval Messien technical director Sonjib Banerjee. – TradeArabia News Service
