Surge Protection for LED Applications

Surge Protection

Apr 15, 2020

LED technology has become indispensable in our everyday world. In street, tunnel or commercial lighting, LEDs are everywhere. To safeguard the infrastructure, it is essential to ensure error-free functioning of illumination.

However, the surge currents and overvoltages generated in the grid can significantly exceed the dielectric strength of LED light columns, for example. The lights may therefore fail for reasons other than their position, which exposes them to direct lightning strikes. Effective surge protection can help to avoid these risks.`

The type 2 surge protective device from the Blocktrab series protects all lighting systems and is particularly suitable for LED applications. With their compact design, you can also easily retrofit the protective devices in existing systems. The protective device can be used in diverse LED applications and offers you a variety of connection and installation methods.
