ArresterWorks

In 2007 Jonathan Woodworth and Deborah Limburg made the decision to join their business expertise to start ArresterWorks Consulting. Their aim was to provide a resource for those seeking to improve power system reliability through design, production and application of arresters to mitigate the effect of lightning and other transients. Their efforts have lead to ArresterWorks.com which is a website devoted to providing educational information on the topic of surge protection of power systems and a consulting business that continues to grow.

Since 2007 and the start of ArresterWorks, they have developed a comprehensive library of articles on surge protection that is now second to none in the world. They have also developed and honed their transient analysis skills using ATP software to model and problem solve in the industry. They have added on line seminars, eConsulting, and much more to their list of services to the industry.
