Here are the steps to manage and mitigate the damage caused by an electrical surge: Look for visible signs like burnt control boards, melted wiring, or tripped breakers. Power surges, also called voltage spikes or transient events, have numerous causes; they can originate during power grid switching be caused from malfunctions in transformers or transmission lines occur as a result from a lightning strike. Sudden voltage fluctuations can also arise from upstream transformer faults or poor grounding, injecting harmful energy into the elevator's electrical system. Eaton's Elevator Control panelboards provide electric power distribution with integrated fusible switches, metering, and surge protection. Additionally, they're designed to meet UL 67 and NEMA PB1 standards for use in data centers, industrial, commercial and healthcare facilities. Common causes include: Lightning Strikes: External power surges from weather events.
