Spike Power Protection Systems and Technologies

What Spike Power Protection Systems and Technologies does

Spike Power Protection Systems & Technologies, founded in 1996 and headquartered in Kilpauk, Chennai, is a privately held Indian engineering services and product distribution company specializing in facility electrical protection. The firm designs, supplies, installs, tests, commissions, and services lightning protection, surge protection, and maintenance-free earthing systems for industrial, infrastructure, and government clients. It is the exclusive Indian channel partner for nVent ERICO (formerly ERICO Inc., USA) and operates a direct enterprise sales model with regional branch representatives across six Indian metros and exclusive distributors in South Tamil Nadu, Mumbai, and Kolkata.

The core product portfolio is built on nVent ERICO technologies and includes the System 3000 (Controlled Streamer Emission) and System 1000 (Early Streamer Emission) lightning protection lines, the integrated System 2000 six-point protection plan, ERICORE low-impedance downconductor cable, GEM (Ground Enhancement Material), CADWELD exothermic welding connections, Copper Bonded Steel Conductors, and CRITEC surge protection devices. Supporting services include railway-specific products (ERICONTACTS rail drilling, CRITEC ETSP track circuit protection) and full lifecycle support from design through after-sales troubleshooting. The technology differentiator is access to ERICO's proprietary CSE and ESE air-terminal architectures, which conform to NF C 17-102 and IEC 62561-7 standards and are not available through alternative Indian channels.

The business generates revenue from hardware sales (lightning terminals, surge devices, earthing materials, cables), installation and commissioning services (turnkey earthing and protection projects), and after-sales support contracts. Pricing is quote-based and project-driven, with no public pricing disclosed. The customer base spans telecom operators (Tata, Vodafone, Idea Cellular, Airtel, Aircel, BSNL, Indus Towers), power generators and utilities (Nuclear Power Corporation, NLC Neyveli, Indian Oil), government and research institutions (ISRO, IIT Madras), IT and software firms (HCL, Cognizant, Wipro, Tech Mahindra), heavy industry (BHEL, SAIL, L&T, Bosch), cement manufacturers (India Cements, Madras Cements, ACC Cement), media (Sun Network, The Hindu), and healthcare and hospitality accounts. The firm is led by founder and CEO Mr. A. Sekhar (35+ years industry experience) alongside a senior engineering-led team accounting for 200+ man-years of combined experience, with total headcount estimated at 51-100.
