Many industrial sites built in the 1950s and 60s as industrialisation grew. This, in line with the expansion of the electrical grid. Led to a huge program of electrical substation construction around the world.

And power surges do not cause data loss. As well as, severe and lasting damage to sensitive data centre equipment. Therefore, electrical earthing is a matter of vital importance.
