Overvoltage Protection  Manufacturers, Traders, Suppliers

Overvoltage protection describes the protection of electronic devices from high electric volatges. Such surges can be caused by either lightning or capacitive and induction decoupling of other systems. Lightning protection is probably on this occasion the most important topic. Endangered buildings, which are endangered due to their height or freestanding position are therefore equipped with lightning conductors as a system to protect from lightning. In addition this includes air termination conductors, lightning arresters and grounding. These provide for discharge and potentional equalisation of the surplus energy. Only around half of the lightning energy is allowed to be diverted into the earth according to regulation. The other half is taken in by the potential equalisation of the plant.
