Every year, several hundred thousand cases of damage from lightning strikes and overvoltages are reported in Germany alone, with resulting costs in the multi-million euro range. Play it safe – with overvoltage protection devices from our SENTRON portfolio! These devices are part of a comprehensive protection concept for electrical installations, and reliably prevent damage from overvoltage.
• Compact designs that can be used as both lightning arrester (type 1) as well as surge arrester (type 2)
• Protects low-voltage systems against overvoltage triggered by lightning strikes or grid switching operations
• Thermal isolating arrester disconnector offers a high level of protection against overload
Overvoltages are brief voltage peaks of less than a thousandth of a second that exceed by many times the allowable design operating voltage of electric devices.
