Planning aid, general<strong>information</strong>Minor cause, major effect: Damage caused by surge voltagesOur dependency on electrical <strong>and</strong>electronic equipment continues toincrease, in both our professional<strong>and</strong> private lives. <strong>Data</strong> networks incompanies, for auxiliary equipmentin hospitals <strong>and</strong> fire departmentsfor example, are vital for the realtime transfer of <strong>information</strong> thathas long since been indispensable.Sensitive databases, e.g. inbanks or media publishers, needreliable transmission paths. It isnot only lightning strikes that posea latent threat to these systems.More <strong>and</strong> more frequently, today'selectronic aids are damaged bysurges caused by remote lightningdischarges or switching operationsin large electrical systems. Duringthunderstorms, too, high volumesof energy are instantaneously released.These voltage peaks canpenetrate a building through all -manner of conductive connections<strong>and</strong> cause enormous damage.02 TBS-Katalog_2010_Neuer_St<strong>and</strong> / en / 30/03/2010 (LLExport_00986)6 <strong>OBO</strong> TBS
