• Protects low-voltage systems against overvoltage and high currents triggered by direct or indirect lightning strikes
• Enclosed lightning arresters suitable for installation upstream of the meter
• All design variants fitted with remote signaling contact
• Suitable for installation in main distribution boards, upstream or downstream of the meter
The more than one million lightning strikes in Germany every year pose a considerable risk for buildings and systems that can be damaged due to the unhindered effect of lightning currents, overvoltage and power surges. In many cases however, it is not apparent that such damage has been caused by lightning currents, overvoltage and power surges.
Overvoltage results in considerable damage to electrical and electronic equipment. Even brief transients in power supply lines or between electrical lines and other conductive parts (e.g. grounded metallic parts, ground) are sufficient to cause such damage. The damage patterns of destroyed lines, circuit boards or switchgear demonstrate this. Such damage can be prevented employing suitable overvoltage protection means.
