Overvoltage & Surge Protection
Protects valuable electrical equipment from overvoltage and high power surges
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.
These spikes not only affect the 230 V grid, they can also travel
to connected devices through the telephone or antenna lines.
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
are also caused by indirect lightning strikes. They result in a giant
voltage increase in the grid and can travel through the telephone and
antenna lines to reach computers and home entertainment equipment.
Without adequate protection these devices will be destroyed by the
voltage surge.
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.
Insurance For Connected Devices
brennenstuhl
®
warrants the performance of its overvoltage
and lightning protection products to the specifi cations 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 verifi ed 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 specifi cations. The insurance covers personal
injury and damage to property up to a maximum of 5 million euros
within the context of product liability.
