Low-power industrial electronics are increasingly found in outdoor applications. Growth drivers include the proliferation of video surveillance systems, adoption of LED lighting, build-out of the smart grid with devices such as pole-mounted RF repeaters, and deployment of a wide range of sensors and monitoring systems for equipment in clean energy, oil, gas and other industries. The broad and growing range of applications means design engineers are increasingly likely to encounter design projects for equipment that works outdoors. For designers accustomed to creating indoor systems, this means learning new techniques for protecting equipment from lightning-induced surges.
