aitro17 COvervoliage protection devices - SENTRON protection devices - Siemens Global Website Overvoltage protection devices < Seamless and safe 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 ate part of a comprehensive protection concept for electrical installations, and reliably prevent damage from overvoltage. Find the overvoltage protection devices to fit your needs.

Such overvoltage events are usuaily caused by lightning strikes, electrostatic discharges or power grid switching operations, and are extremely hazardous. Such surges can cause electrical systems to fail, destroy electrical and electronic equipment, or even set entire buildings on fire. An appropriate protection concept sbaulctaerefgre be implemented in every building.

The protection devices shall be selected in accordance with the electrical loads at the site of installation. This concept enables implementation of overvoltage and lightning protection measures tailored to local conditions and individual requirements, The right device for any requirement x ‘Among other characteristics that differentiate overvoltage protection devices is their rated surge capacity and the achievable ~ Type 1 lightning arrester: Protects against overvoltage and high currents triggered by direct or indirect lightning strikes ~ Type 2 surge arrester: Protects against overvoltage triggered by electrical switching operations ~ Type 3 surge arrester: Protects electrical loads (consumers) against overvoltage 26aitro17 COvervoliage protection devices - SENTRON protection devices - Siemens Global Website Insulation coordination in accordance with IEC 60364-4.443, Download table (cortenttdamwebassetpoclmanvtagsiemens-com/smdb/energy-managementlon-volage—-power-éstnbutionlow-vohage-componentsibrochuresiscaton: coordination n-accordance- with 80964-4-443 od) 50 percent of lightning current remains within the building According to IEC 61312-1, itis to be assumed that approximately 50 percent of any lightning current is conducted via the external ghtning protection system (lightning arrester) into the ground, Up to 50 percent of the remaining lightning current flows via electrically conductive systems into the building. Overvoltage protection measures are therefore absolutely essential, even if a building or installation is fitted with a lightning arrester. _ Downloads and Support © Take advantage of our services x Here you will find important information, documents, and addresses relating to low-voltage power distribution and electrical installation technology. & Download v htps:ww siemens comiglobalenhomelproductsonergy/low-vollagelcomponentsisentron-prolecion-deviceslovervollage-protecion-devices ml itaitro17 COvervoliage protection devices - SENTRON protection devices - Siemens Global Website 4) Support v aP Service v Order overvoltage protection devices * Overvoltage protection devices protect against thunderstorm damage Learn more, choose, and order: At the Industry Mall you will find detailed technical information about all of our overvoltage protection devices.
