Lightning and Overvoltage Protection
Effective Protection from Excessively High Voltages
Danger from lightning and the consequences of overvoltage are often underestimated – despite the fact that lightning strikes more than one million times each year in Germany. Power outages and switching operations in high and low voltage systems can also create overvoltage conditions and severely damage your equipment. We offer economical solutions for planning, installing, and maintaining systems designed to protect against lightning and overvoltage. If you have any questions concerning electromagnetic compatibility (EMC), we can answer them. We can also determine interference sources and potentially vulnerable equipment, and check your systems according to the requirements of the EMC directive.
