Critical infrastructure protection in hospitals
In hospitals, functioning technology and the constant availability of medical equipment are an absolute must. After all, people's lives depend on it. An effective and complete surge and lightning protection concept protects the power supply and information technology against transient overvoltages, such as those caused by lightning strikes or switching operations. This is a vital, especially in the case of sensitive, networked technology.
And this is precisely where our expertise lies. We work with you to develop customised protection concepts for hospitals and other critical infrastructure, support you with standard-compliant implementation and offer you high-quality, reliable products for internal and external lightning protection.
Our lightning and surge protection for hospitals
Digital medical records, surgical robots, automated processes, measuring and control equipment for building and access control – the requirements for protective measures in hospitals have changed in the course of digitalisation processes. We are responding to this development with sophisticated lightning and surge protection concepts and carefully devised risk management for hospitals.
Our protection solutions include external lightning protection, surge protection, arc fault protection as well as earthing and equipotential bonding – for a continuous power supply and electrical safety as well as for the protection of patients and employees.
Protection concepts
Earthing
A professionally installed earthing system is essential for the safe operation of all electrical systems in the hospital. Find out what you need for this here.
Equipotential bonding
Connects all conductive parts of the building and thus avoids dangerous voltage differences.
External lightning protection
For safe hospital operations and to protect human life: discover our comprehensive range of products and important information about external lightning protection.
Surge Protection
With our expertise and our high-performance products, we provide you with comprehensive solutions for protecting electronic parts and components against transient overvoltages.
Arc fault protection
With our arc fault protection, we ensure trouble-free system operation and protect employees and patients.
Relevant standards for the lightning protection of hospitals
- IEC standards 0100-543 and 0100-443/-444 deal with important aspects of safety in electrical installations – including earthing and protection against overvoltages – and are also relevant for hospitals.
- Further specifications can be found in the IEC 60364-7-710 standard for low-voltage systems in surgeries and clinics

Services
We can provide support for your project from the planning to the implementation and beyond. Take advantage of our wide range of practical tools and services.
Design the external lightning protection and earthing systems for your project in accordance with DIN 18014 and IEC 62305-3. The program automatically creates a bill of materials for further use.
We create the entire lightning protection concept – from the risk analysis and earthing simulation to budget planning – all precisely tailored to your project, and standards-compliant.
The web application helps you to determine the lightning protection class of buildings and the necessary measures.
