But why do we really need surge protection?


Surge voltages often destroy electronic equipment and systems to a large extent. We have to remember that surge voltages not only occur due to lightning strikes. A considerable number of surge voltages are a result of switching operations or electrostatic discharge. These surge voltages only occur for a fraction of a second. For this reason, they are called "transient voltages" or "transients".
Typical damage caused by surge voltages



Surge voltages couple into the supply line or data line galvanically, inductively or capacitively as well as via radiation and wave interferences. What then happens can be seen in the top picture.

Professional surge protection prevents such damage and is thus an active contribution to the protection of your system. The availability of your devices is considerably increased. 

With the TRABTECH range of products, we provide you with the right surge protection for your area of application.
