Power surges
can also occur as excessive current in the mains supply as a result of
indirect lightning strikes, or can penetrate computer equipment, VCRs and
HiFis through telephone lines and aerials, destroying them if there is no
protection in place.
Protective elements
such as varistors and gas discharge tube are important components,
which ensure that dangerous overvoltages are redirected to earth in split
seconds, preventing the dangerous excess voltage from reaching the
protected equipment.
Latest developments
in high-quality and modern protective components are used in our over-
voltage and indirect lightning strike protection equipment to guarantee
effective protection from spikes and surges up to 60.000 A.
The Equipment Protection Range protects valuable
electrical equipment from overvoltage and high
power surges.
Surges/Overvoltages
are all voltages, which for a brief period of time exceed the limit of the
network. Overvoltages don’t just occur in 230 V mains supplies, but also in
telephone lines or aerials connected to equipment. Without reliable pro-
tection, these overvoltages damage the sensitive, electronic components
in the equipments’ circuitry.
The cause of such overvoltages could be, for example, electronic pulses
from powerful motors, welding equipment, or other large pieces of
electrical equipment. The most dangerous causes are high voltage spikes
resulting from indirect lightning strikes. They mean the certain end of
unprotected equipment.
