Current: Surge Protection for Power Supply Systems

Surge Protection for Power Supply Systems

Our Red/Line surge protection portfolio includes solutions for protecting systems up to 1,000 V a.c. / 1,500 V d.c. against surges caused by atmospheric discharge and switching operations.

Type 1 + Type 2 Combined Lightning Current and Surge Arresters

Spark-gap-based type 1 + type 2 combined arresters - DEHNventil, DEHNvenCI, DEHNshield, DEHNcombo - combine lightning equipotential bonding and protection of terminal equipment in a single arrester.

Coordinated Type 1 Lightning Current Arresters

Thanks to their high efficiency, coordinated spark-gap-based type 1 lightning current arresters are ideally suited for installation in the main distribution board of low-voltage consumer’s installations.

Type 1 Lightning Current Arresters

Type 1 lightning current arresters ensure lightning equipotential bonding in electrical installations and allow a compact configuration of low-voltage main distribution boards.

Accessory for Type 1 Arresters

Receiver modules for optical transmission for selective operating state indication / centralised fault indication of three coordinated DEHNbloc Maxi S / DEHNgap Maxi S lightning current arresters.

N-PE Lightning Current Arresters

Spark-gap-based type 1 N-PE lightning current arresters of type DEHNgap are installed in “3+1” or “1+1“ circuits of TT or TN systems between neutral conductor N and protective conductor PE.

Type 2 Surge Arresters

Type 2 DEHNguard S / M ...CI / SCI surge arresters are available in different types and voltages and are ideally suited for a.c., d.c. and PV applications.

Type 3 Surge Arresters

Type 3 arresters are typically used for protecting terminal equipment. Different types of enclosures allow easy installation close to terminal equipment.

General accessories

Adequate accessories such as terminals, insulating enclosures or busbars make it easier to install and monitor DEHN surge protective devices in many applications.

Measuring and test equipment

Monitoring devices for potential-free registration of the discharge currents of protective devices and for testing the sparkover voltage of surge arresters.

Isolating spark gaps

Isolating spark gaps for aboveground and underground installation are used to indirectly earth and connect functionally isolated parts of installations under lightning conditions.

Voltage-controlled smart decoupling device

Voltage-controlled smart decoupling device for protection in case of transient, temporary and long-duration overvoltages caused by external voltages from various sources of interference (e.g. high-voltage systems, traction power supply systems, low-voltage systems, lightning interference).

Medium-voltage arrester

Medium-voltage arrester for protecting transformers, switchgear installations and transmission lines against surges. Directly mounted on the mast, point of transition between the overhead line and the cable or transformer.
