Lightning Protection & Surge Suppression


Lightning Protection & Surge Suppression
Lightning protection systems & surge suppression products protect valuable electronic equipment from harm in the event of lightning strikes or other surges in electrical power.

For those who have experienced it, the results are millions of dollars spent each year repairing damaged equipment, determining the cause of lost or corrupted data, unnecessary recalibration, and correcting process disruptions caused by direct lightning strikes and their indirect effects.

The role of a lightning protection system is to provide the current from lightning strikes a path of low resistance to travel. The system guides the lightning bolt current to ground, safely discharging the electrical energy.

Now Pepperl+Fuchs, the world market leader for intrinsic safety and explosion protection has partnered with DEHN, a world-leading manufacturer of lightning and surge protection products for electrical and electronic equipment and systems. The partnership expands the Pepperl+Fuchs product line and creates the largest single source for AC and DC lightning, transient and surge arrestors.
