Data Centers & IT/ITES Parks

Why this sector is highly sensitive
Even nearby strikes can induce utility sags/surges that trip chillers, UPS/STS and PDUs—producing thermal excursions, outages and data loss. Lives (onsite staff) and continuity of critical services are at stake.

By the numbers
• Global: ~2.10B events worldwide in 2023; power-quality disturbances from lightning are a documented outage cause.
• India: high seasonal activity; campuses often in lightning-prone belts.

Recent incidents / coverage
• Google Belgium (2015): multiple lightning hits → data loss. The Christian Science MonitorTIME
• Australia (2023): lightning-induced utility sag tripped data-center chillers, forcing compute shutdowns. TechRepublic
• Brazil (2025): lightning strike disabled a government DC. Data Center Dynamics

How Euthalia’s Ingelva helps
• Preventive protection for rooftops/yards + coordinated SPDs on MV/LV, genset, UPS, chiller/VFD controls to cut surge propagation to IT loads. Euthalia
• Concept is preventive (charge management) rather than purely divertive. Euthalia
