Protecting the electrical components in an irrigation system has much different requirements than protection for people and property. Relying on the grounding of a building is not enough defense against the common transient voltage spikes or the super high voltage and frequency of lightning strikes to which an irrigation system is exposed.

This highly interactive 1-hour workshop gives the residential or commercial irrigation designer, contractor, or manager the understanding of physical properties lightning and electrical surges as well as the industry best practices to provide some protection for controllers, wire, decoders, and solenoids The training uses real-world examples to apply the science of irrigation using innovative and proven methods.
