Product Portfolio
Protection solutions
DEHN offers comprehensive protection solutions in the
fields of surge protection, lightning protection/earthing and safety
equipment for many different industries.
Surges are a great danger. Direct, nearby and remote lightning strikes
as well as switching operations in electric power stations can damage
buildings and systems.
Failure of production facilities as a result of lightning
effects can have fatal consequences. Protection measures are essential to
ensure the availability of industrial plants.
Protection solutions and products ranging from power
generation, power transmission and distribution to power consumption
particularly for photovoltaic systems, wind turbines, biogas plants as well
as complete smart energy systems.
As an expert for information and communication
technology, DEHN is an important supplier of earthing, equipotential bonding
as well as lightning and surge protection.
Many chemical and pharmaceutical companies rely on
innovative products from DEHN for protecting systems and processes as well
as production and storage facilities.
DEHN offers a comprehensive lightning protection, surge
protection and safety equipment portfolio for protecting railway systems and
supports the development of electromobility.
Lightning is fascinating, but also dangerous due to the
risk of fire and surges. Therefore, persons, buildings, systems as well as
electric and electronic devices must be protected.

Power Supply Systems
Our Red/Line surge protection portfolio includes
solutions for protecting systems up to 1,000 V a.c. / 1,500 V d.c. against
surges caused by atmospheric discharge and switching operations.
Type 1 Combined Lightning Current and Surge Arresters
Spark-gap-based type 1 combined arresters - DEHNventil,
DEHNvenCI, DEHNshield, DEHNlimit - combine lightning equipotential bonding
and protection of terminal equipment in a single arrester.
Thanks to their high efficiency, coordinated
spark-gap-based type 1 lightning current arresters are ideally suited for
installation in the main distribution board of low-voltage consumer’s
installations.
Type 1 lightning current arresters ensure lightning
equipotential bonding in electrical installations and allow a compact
configuration of low-voltage main distribution boards.
Receiver modules for optical transmission for selective
operating state indication / centralised fault indication of three
coordinated DEHNbloc Maxi S / DEHNgap Maxi S lightning current arresters.
Spark-gap-based type 1 N-PE lightning current arresters
of type DEHNgap are installed in “3+1” or “1+1“ circuits of TT or TN systems
between neutral conductor N and protective conductor PE.
Type 2 DEHNguard S / M ...CI / SCI surge arresters are
available in different types and voltages and are ideally suited for a.c.,
d.c. and PV applications.
Type 3 arresters are typically used for protecting
terminal equipment. Different types of enclosures allow easy installation
close to terminal equipment.
DEHN provides specialized solutions to fulfil the
regional different demands (e.g. diverse voltage levels, earthing
conditions, standards) of many Power Supply Systems and markets worldwide.
Adequate accessories such as terminals, insulating
enclosures or busbars make it easier to install and monitor DEHN surge
protective devices in many applications.
Isolating spark gaps for aboveground and underground
installation are used to indirectly earth and connect functionally isolated
parts of installations under lightning conditions.
The function of voltage-limiting devices in railway
systems is to permanently connect parts in the overhead contact line and
pantograph zone to the return circuit as soon as the sparkover voltage is
exceeded.
