Electric and electronic systems in railway technology and e-mobility are becoming more and more sensitive. The fact that components are becoming increasingly interdependent and expectations with regard to reliable functionality are growing, speaks in favour of a comprehensive protection concept.
Avoid system downtime and disruptions in the railway infrastructure
The smooth running of railway technology depends on the proper functioning of a variety of highly sensitive, electric and electronic systems.
The permanent availability of these systems is, however, threatened by lightning strikes and electromagnetic interference. As a rule, damaged and destroyed conductors, interlocking components, modules or computer systems are the root cause of disruptions and time-consuming troubleshooting. This, in turn, means late trains and high costs.
Reduce costly disruptions and minimise system downtime... with a comprehensive lightning and surge protection concept tailored to your special requirements.
These are the most common reasons for disruptions and damage in electric railway systems:
Protect the charging infrastructure and electric vehicles from lightning and surge damage
Electric vehicles - clean, fast and quiet - are becoming increasingly popular. Being involved right from the start is important in many sectors.
The quickly growing e-mobility market is sparking great interest among the industry, utilities, communities and citizens. To be in the black as soon as possible, it is vital to prevent downtime. Therefore, a comprehensive lightning and surge protection concept must be implemented already at the design phase.
Two key aspects to be considered
Talking of protection there are two main issues that have to be taken into account:
Facilities and human life.
