Overview

Protection Systems

The trend towards increasing investments in technical equipment for data processing and other communication systems at the workplace can result in substantial losses when this equipment is destroyed as a result of overvoltage. Damaged or destroyed equipment, which is integrated into manufacturing or data storage processes, does not only result in direct damage but also in high costs due to downtime. Furthermore, delays in production due to data loss, damaged process control computers or computerized warehouse and storage systems are by no means rare. These delays cost many times the amount of the direct damage. According to the insurance industry, indirect influences are responsible for 95% of the damage as a result of atmospheric discharges (lightning). This also gives weight to the fact that networks located kilometers away from the site of impact can be damaged. The total annual damage caused by this phenomenon in Germany alone totals more than EUR 250 million. Apart from the material loss, plant and network operators also face the danger to life and health. It is all too often that they suddenly realize that even small excess voltages have caused unforeseeable damage. Too late - if no precautions have been taken.

Planning phase Before the planning phase begins, the requirements for the protection system must be examined together with the operating conditions. Overrated protection hardly ever leads to damage, however, it does have an impact on the economic efficiency of the equipment. Over-rated protection also means an increase in repair costs and poses a risk to life and limb. Installation takes place after the distribution equipment has been set up. Retrofitting of existing equipment is in most cases not a problem if LSAPLUS and LSA-PROFILE systems are installed. Apart from the electrical characteristics, the conditions of the interface with the distributor system, and, if necessary, also the housing dimensions must be taken into consideration at the earliest possible stage. The following protection modules are available for the LSA-PLUS series (series 2): KRONE protection modules Magazine Network condition Selectioncondition < > Protection module LSA-PLUS distribution modules Jumpering with protection module in place no yes

Selection
Selection In line with signal potentials, a distinction is made between 3-point and 5-point protection. In case of connection modules, only 3-point protection is possible. Switching modules are basically recommended for 5-point protection (components in the signal path) because - once the protective plug has been removed - the contact in the module is open, so that possible faults cannot make their way to the downstream network. 5-point protection can also be implemented using disconnection modules. KRONE supplies various types of protective circuits: 3-point protection: pure overvoltage protection (high-voltage or secondary protection) 5-point protection: overvoltage protection combined with current protection 5-point protection: graded protection (high-voltage and secondary protection with current protection).

Fail-Safe Protective circuits with an integrated fail-safe feature are highly recommended. Components for overvoltage protection are usually designed for pulse-shaped loads only. Therefore, if permanent overloads are possible (e.g. mains contact), a safe short-circuit to earth must be ensured. Overloaded or overheated protection components would not only lose their protective function, they could cause fire or an explosion thereby leading to considerable damage.

Service Properly dimensioned overvoltage protection components have a serviceable life of several decades and require no additional maintenance. It is recommended that the nominal DC response voltage of overvoltage arrestors be tested every 6 years. If the protective circuit has been subjected to impulse current, it is recommended that the arrestors be replaced for safety reasons.
