Overvoltage & Surge Protection Protects valuable electrical equipment from overvoltage and high power surges. Insurance for connected devices brennenstuhl® warrants the performance of its overvoltage and lightning protection products to the specifications listed on a product‘s rating plate. Provided the products were used properly, brennenstuhl® will repair or replace all devices directly connected to the overvoltage and lightning protection product if it can be verified that they were damaged by overvoltage and if the following conditions are met:The damage must be the result of a failure of the product‘s protective function as stated in the specifications.The insurance covers personal injury and damage to property up to a maximum of 5 million euros within the context of product liability. I n s u r a n c e P r o t e c t i o n * u p t o : V e r s i c h e r u n g s s c h u t z * b i s z u : Overvoltages are all voltages that briefl y exceed the limit of the mains voltage. Overvoltages can for example be caused by impulses from powerful engines, welding equipment or other large electrical equipment. The most dangerous cause is the extremely high voltage spike generated by an indirect lightning strike. Without effective protection in place these overvoltages can destroy sensitive electronic components in the circuits of these devices and spell the end for unprotected electrical appliances. Surges also enter the power grid through indirect lightning in enormous currents, reach computer systems, home entertainment and hi-fi equipment and destroy these devices without appropriate protection. Surge Protection Devices such as varistors and gas discharge tubes are important components that can short dangerous overvoltages to earth in a split second to prevent destructive spikes from reaching the protected equipment.
