Introduction
Welcome to the new product catalogue from Omega Red Group Ltd
the U.K. market leader in the design, supply, installation, test and maintenance of earthing and lightning
protection systems. Here you will find an extensive range of components, fixings and accessories, all designed
and manufactured to ensure compliance with the latest national and international standards and, when installed
and maintained correctly, to provide longevity in service, quality in performance and peace of mind.
As a prominent member of our trade federation (ATLAS), Omega Red Group Ltd has BS EN 62305
representation at BSI, CENELEC and IEC levels. To achieve compliance with BS EN 62305, surge protection
must be included as part of a lightning protection system, to safeguard the building, and the people and
equipment within it, from the damaging effects of transient over-voltages. To assist you in selecting the correct
products for your needs, an extensive range of surge protection devices can be found on pages 25 to 35 of
this catalogue.

The structural lightning protection components, fixings and accessories shown on the preceding
pages represent the most popular items used in a typical system, but this is by no means an
exhaustive list.
Should you have any requirements for structural lightning protection products not shown in
this catalogue, we would be happy to discuss these with you. Please call our sales office on
0115 877 4444 for further information or advice.
The following pages contain details of the most commonly used surge protection devices (SPDs).
To achieve compliance with BS EN 62305, such devices must be included in a lightning protection
system. Once again, further information regarding the selection and placement of suitable surge
protection devices is available from our sales office.

Surge Protection
Introduction
What are transient over-voltages?
Transient over-voltages are high magnitude voltage peaks of only micro-seconds duration, also known as
surges. Direct and indirect lightning strikes are their most common source, but they are also created with the
switching of large inductive or capacitive electrical loads within buildings.
What are the risks from transient over-voltages?
Transient over-voltages cause damage to electrical systems and equipment, and disrupt critical and operational
services, resulting in expensive downtime and repair costs. Measured against the potential losses, to business
operation or the provision of essential services, the need for protection against transient over-voltages
becomes clear.
Reducing the risks
Surge protection devices (SPDs) are divided into two basic types and each performs a critical function.
Lightning current SPDs are designed to prevent partial lightning currents from entering a structure during
lightning activity. They should be installed on all cables entering or leaving a building, either where a structural
lightning protection system is installed, or where a building is supplied via overhead cables. Cable entry and
exit locations can be at ground, side and roof levels.
Transient over-voltage SPDs are designed to reduce the risk of damage to electrical systems and equipment,
from the secondary effects of indirect lightning and switching transients. They should be installed locally to
protect critical electrical and electronic equipment or, where cables enter or leave a building when there is no
structural lightning protection.
Solution
For outstanding protection against transient over-voltages, Omega can supply all of your surge protection
requirements, as all of our products are sourced directly from leading manufacturers. SPDs from Omega
offer a cost effective and best engineered solution. Compliance with BS EN 62305 can be achieved where
they are installed as part of a lightning protection system. Being virtually maintenance-free, and with repeated
protection built-in as standard, SPDs from Omega Red Group Ltd offer the best choice to achieve long-lasting,
cost-effective protection against transient over-voltages.

quoted are valid for 30 days only or until earlier acceptance by the Buyer, after which time they may be altered by the Seller without giving notice to the Buyer.
The Seller reserves the right, by giving notice to the Buyer at any time before delivery, to increase the price of the Goods to reflect any increase in the cost to the Seller which is
due to any factor beyond the control of the Seller (such as, without limitation, any foreign exchange fluctuation, currency regulation, alteration of duties, significant increase in the
cost of labour, materials or other costs of manufacture), any change in delivery dates, quantities or specifications for the Goods which is requested by the Buyer, or any delay caused
by an instruction of the Buyer or failure of the Buyer to give the Seller adequate information or instruction.
Except as otherwise stated under the terms of any quotation or in any price list of the Seller, and unless otherwise agreed in Writing between the Buyer and the Seller, all prices
are given by the Seller on an ex works basis, and where the Seller agrees to deliver the Goods otherwise than at the Sellers premises, the Buyer shall be liable to pay the Sellers
charges for transport, packaging and insurance.

The cost of pallets and returnable containers will be charged to the Buyer in addition to the price of the Goods, but full credit will be given to the Buyer provided they are
returned undamaged to the Seller before the due payment date.

Terms of Payment
Subject to any special terms agreed in Writing between the Buyer and the Seller the Seller shall be entitled to invoice the Buyer for the price of the Goods on or at any time after
delivery of the Goods, unless the Goods are to be collected by the Buyer or the Buyer wrongfully fails to take delivery of the Goods, in which event the Seller shall be entitled to
invoice the Buyer for the price at any time after the Seller has notified the Buyer that the Goods are ready for collection or (as the case may be) the Seller has tendered delivery of
the Goods.
The Buyer shall pay the price of the Goods (less any discount to which the Buyer is entitled, but without any other deduction) within 30 days of the date of the Sellers invoice, and
the Seller shall be entitled to recover the price, notwithstanding that delivery may not have taken place and the property in the Goods has not passed to the Buyer. The time of
payment of the price shall be of the essence of the Contract. Receipts for payments will be issued only upon request.
If the Buyer fails to make payment on the due date then, without prejudice to any other right or remedy available to the Seller, the Seller shall be entitled to:Cancel the Contract or suspend any further deliveries to the Buyer.
Appropriate any payment made by the Buyer to such of the Goods (or the Goods supplied under any other contract between the Buyer and the Seller) as the Seller may think fit
(notwithstanding any purported appropriation by the Buyer); and

Delivery
Delivery of Goods shall be made by the Buyer collecting the Goods at the Sellers premises at any time after the Seller has notified the Buyer that the Goods are ready for
collection, or if some other place of delivery is agreed by the Seller, by the Seller delivering the Goods to that place.
Any dates quoted for delivery of the Goods are approximate only and the Seller shall not be liable for any delay in delivery of the Goods howsoever caused. Time for delivery shall
not be of the essence unless previously agreed by the Seller in Writing. The Goods may be delivered by the Seller in advance of the quoted delivery date upon giving reasonable
notice to the Buyer.
Where the Goods are to be delivered in instalments, each delivery shall constitute a separate Contract and failure by the Seller to deliver any one or more of the instalments in
accordance with these Conditions or any claim by the Buyer in respect of any one or more instalments shall not entitle the Buyer to treat the Contract as a whole repudiated.
If the Seller fails to deliver the Goods for any reason other than any cause beyond the Sellers reasonable control or by reason of the Buyers fault, and the Seller is accordingly liable
to the Buyer, the Sellers liability shall be limited to the excess (if any) of the cost to the Buyer (in the cheapest available market) of similar Goods to replace those not delivered
over the price of the Goods.
If the Buyer fails to take delivery of the Goods or fails to give the Seller adequate delivery instructions at the time stated for delivery (otherwise than by reason of any cause
beyond the Buyers reasonable control or by reason of the Sellers fault) then, without prejudice to any other right or remedy available to the Seller the Seller may:Store the Goods until actual delivery and charge the Buyer for the reasonable costs including insurance and storage); or
Sell the Goods at the best price readily obtainable and (after deducting all reasonable storage and selling expenses) account to the Buyer for the excess over the price under the
Contract or charge the Buyer for any shortfall below the price under the Contract.
