SURGE PROTECTION Expertise, our source of energy W

Why is protection needed? LED technology has become the reference technology for lighting, mainly because of four characteristics: efficiency, versatility, energy savings and longer life. In spite of these benefits, the technology has a number of drawbacks: Higher cost of implementation (initial investment) and internal electronics (LED optics and drivers), much more complex and sensitive to overvoltages than in the case of traditional light sources. For these reasons, the use of overvoltage protection systems is a very cost-effective investment, since it extends the life of the luminaires, ensures...

Comprehensive protection although necessary, Protection in the lighting panel is by itself insufficient because overvoltages can also be induced in long cable runs, which means that the final protection should always be as close as possible to the equipment being protected . Surge protection devices (SPD) protect equipment by discharging the overvoltage to earth, thus limiting the voltage reaching the equipment (residual voltage). An effective overvoltage protection design comprises staggered protection, with stages for each of the sensitive components in the system. In this way part of the overvoltage...

Cascade protection Location of protection The typical configuration of an outdoor lighting installation consists of a general lighting panel and a set of luminaires with long cable runs between them, and between them and the panel. For effective protection in a system like this, it is essential to have staggered protection with high discharge capacity and low residual voltage. This requires a minimum of two stages of protection (see table). Lighting panel Staggered or cascade protection method according to IEC 61643-12. The first step of protection should be a robust SPD (40 kA) located in the...

Common and differential mode Safety and universality are key issues in both the design and the installation of the luminaire, since this provides comfort and peace-of-mind to the installer or specifier/client. Since the manufacturer often does not know where or how the luminaire is installed, only a UNIVERSAL, SAFE SPD provides a guarantee of proper operation in all cases. How is the luminaire installed? • The standard (IEC 60598), requires that at no time in its life should an SPD generate leakage currents. To achieve this, a component called a gas discharge tube (GDT) is used, which is not...

STM SLIM Compact DIN-rail protection for Fusebox STM SLIM is the new range of LED arresters which provides a solution for installation in fuse boxes (located in the mast of the luminaire) with a DIN rail. Internal configuration RoHS PARAMETERS POP+SPD Robust SPD + POP in the panel 2 in 1. Combined protection - POP+SPD. Protection against permanent or temporary overvoltages (POP) is the perfect complement to the typical first stage protection, a type 2 SPD in the lighting panel. POP+SPD Internal configuration

A wide range of lighting applications, which by their nature and usage, make overvoltage protection particularly necessary. Good protection guarantees system operation (continuity of service), provides safety and helps protect the investment (ROI) in LED lighting equipment.
