Industrial Surge Protectors

Process plants like refineries, oil, gas and product pipelines, belong to the largest and most sophisticated building structures. They form the lifelines for regions and entire counties. Reliability, quality and efficiency are important factors for the oil and gas industry to establish themselves on the market. Therefore the safe operation of all electrical and electronic installations and systems is the most important condition.

Due to the large size, location and construction and the use of modern measuring and control technology, the reliability of these installations is threatened by surges due to lightning or switching operations. The repair costs for replacing damages systems are considerable higher than the costs of installing surge protection systems, not to mention the revenue lost due to operational downtime.

Decades of experience as well as intensive research by DEHN have led to the development of protection solutions. This allows a substantial reduction of lightning damage at insulation pipe flanges, CP installations and control rooms. More importantly, the consequential production failures and operational downtime due to lightning surges are reduced to a minimum.

DEHN offers approved industrial surge protection against lighting and surges as well as customer specific solutions to meet local requirements.

The lightning current laboratory at DEHN provides engineering and test services for optimizing customer-specific solutions.

Tests of customer-specific, pre-wired interface units for protection of electrical installations

Tests of measuring and control systems or standard cubicles

These laboratory tests prove the effectiveness of the protection concepts and help to optimize them.
