  • Protection against transients and high-frequency voltages with combinations of interference filters and surge protection

The principle of effective protection is a simple step-by-step approach to setting up comprehensive surge protection within a system or an application.

  1. Draw an imaginary protective circle around the system that requires protection.
  2. Mark all the points where the circle cuts across the connections of the system. By doing this, you identify the doorways for potential surges.
  3. Install surge protection devices at each point of surge vulnerability.
  4. The area within the protective circuit is now protected in such a way that conducted surge voltages are prevented.

Implementing this principle eliminates the threat of open doorways to harmful surges into your system/application.

Areas for comprehensive surge protection:
  • Power surge protection
  • Measurement and control technology surge protection
  • Data and telecom surge protection
  • Coaxial surge protection
