CENTRE FOR ELECTROMAGNETIC AND LIGHTNING PROTECTION RESEARCH (CELP)

Centre for Electromagnetic and Lightning Protection Research,

popularly known as CELP was started in 2008, under the wings of

the Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering at

Universiti Putra Malaysia. Within a short period, CELP reached

visible heights in the Asian Region as a leading institution in

lightning protection and electromagnetic research. With a team of

international experts in the field, ably supported by an army of

postgraduate students and crew of skilled engineering and technical

personnel CELP is offering a wide range of services to Malaysia and

beyond. Scopes of our services include lightning and surge

protection, earthing systems, computation of electromagnetic fields,

electrical safety, EMI/EMC and staff training.

ABOUT US

internationally reputed panel of chartered engineers with PhDs

in the field;

Design: Complete design of structural and/or surge

protection systems for building complexes, small scale, low

cost safety houses for various sectors and safety structures

for domesticated/zoological-garden animals

Implementation: Device/material selection, installation

and commissioning of structural and surge protection

systems

Client Assistance: Preparation of BOQs, budgeting,

evaluation of quotations, overseeing installation, post-

installation inspection and authentication, trouble shooting

of existing systems

Forensic Studies: Inspection, data analysis and issuance
