By accurately identifying these factors, we ensure that your infrastructure is equipped with surge protection that not only matches but anticipates the electrical phenomena typical of your operations, providing superior safeguarding against potential damage.</span></p> <p><span lang="EN-US"></span></p> <h3><span lang="EN-US">Selecting surge protection solutions based on energy dissipation and clamping voltage</span></h3> <p><span lang="EN-US">The effectiveness of surge protective devices is significantly influenced by its energy dissipation capacity and clamping voltage level. Choosing the right surge protection solutions involves considering devices that offer adequate energy handling capabilities to protect against the magnitude of surges your system might face. </span></p> <p><span lang="EN-US"></span></p> <p><span lang="EN-US">For instance, buildings with sensitive electronic equipment may require surge protective devices with lower clamping voltages to ensure delicate circuits are not exposed to damaging energy levels. Conversely, battery storage systems, with their inherent capacity to absorb and release large amounts of energy, might necessitate SPDs with higher energy dissipation capabilities. </span></p> <p><span lang="EN-US"></span></p> <p><span lang="EN-US">Mersen's range of surge protection solutions is designed to cater to these diverse needs, providing options that ensure optimal protection across applications by carefully balancing energy dissipation requirements and clamping voltage specifications to protect your assets effectively.</span></p> <h3><span lang="EN-US">Compatibility with system architecture and regulatory compliance</span></h3> <p><span lang="EN-US">Ensuring that surge protective devices (SPDs) are compatible with your system's architecture and comply with regulatory standards is essential for both safety and effectiveness. </span></p> <p><span lang="EN-US"></span></p> <ul> <li><span lang="EN-US"></span><span lang="EN-US">For solar energy systems, this means choosing SPDs that match the photovoltaic (PV) system's voltage levels and grounding configurations. </span></li> <li><span lang="EN-US"></span><span lang="EN-US">Additionally, adherence to local and international standards guarantees that your surge protection strategy meets the highest safety and performance benchmarks. </span></li> <li><span lang="EN-US"></span><span lang="EN-US">Mersen's surge protection solutions are engineered to integrate seamlessly with various system architectures while meeting stringent regulatory requirements. </span></li> <li><span lang="EN-US"></span><span lang="EN-US">For railway applications, this includes compliance with specific safety and performance standards like EN 50121, ensuring that every surge protection strategy enhances system resilience without compromising on regulatory obligations.</span></li> </ul> </div> </div> </li> <li> <div class="paragraph paragraph--type--text paragraph--view-mode--default"> <div class="paragraph__header"> <p class="paragraph__header__suptitle">Surge protection</p> <h2 class="paragraph__header__title">How do surge protection solutions work?</h2> </div> <div class="clearfix text-formatted field field--name-field-text field--type-text-long field--label-hidden field__item"><p><span lang="EN-US">Surge protective devices (SPD) play a crucial role in safeguarding electrical systems from voltage spikes. Through a series of mechanisms, they detect, divert, and dissipate excess voltage, ensuring the safety and longevity of connected devices and infrastructure.</span></p> <p><span lang="EN-US"></span></p> <h3><span lang="EN-US">Surge protection solutions detect voltage speaks</span></h3> <p><span lang="EN-US">Surge protective devices (SPD) are designed with sophisticated detection mechanisms that instantly recognize abnormal voltage levels, crucial for preventing damage to electrical systems. </span></p> <p><span lang="EN-US"></span></p> <p><span lang="EN-US">For instance, in applications like surge protection for solar energy, this capability is vital. Solar energy systems, often exposed to the elements, are particularly susceptible to voltage spikes caused by lightning strikes or grid fluctuations. The moment a spike is detected, surge protective devices act swiftly to mitigate potential harm. This rapid response not only preserves the integrity of the solar panels and associated equipment but also ensures the continuous production and distribution of clean energy. </span></p> <p><span lang="EN-US"></span></p> <h3><span lang="EN-US">Diverting surges through grounding systems</span></h3> <p><span lang="EN-US">A fundamental function of surge protection equipment is to divert excess voltage away from sensitive electronics through grounding systems. This process is essential in environments like wind energy production or railway operations, where the infrastructure is often at risk from surges caused by lightning or operational activities. By channeling the surge energy safely into the ground, Mersen’s surge protective devices prevent potential damage to critical components and ensure the uninterrupted operation of these systems. </span></p> <p><span lang="EN-US"></span></p> <h3><span lang="EN-US">Surge protection equipment clamps down the excess voltage </span></h3> <p><span lang="EN-US">Once a voltage spike is detected, surge protection equipment steps in to clamp down the excess voltage to a safer level before it can reach and damage the connected equipment. This action is particularly critical in settings involving power electronics, where even minor fluctuations can result in significant damage to sensitive components. </span></p> <p><span lang="EN-US"></span></p> <p><span lang="EN-US">Mersen's surge protective devices are engineered to quickly react to surges, effectively reducing the voltage to a manageable level and dissipating the surplus energy in a controlled manner. This capability ensures that systems, especially those reliant on delicate electronic processes, remain secure and operational, safeguarding against the potential costs and downtime associated with surge damage.</span></p> <p><span lang="EN-US"></span></p> <h3><span lang="EN-US">Surge protection continuously monitors the line voltage</span></h3> <p><span lang="EN-US">Surge protective devices are not just reactive; they continuously monitor the line voltage for any signs of transient voltages that could harm downstream circuits. This ongoing vigilance is crucial in sectors like production and electrical distribution, where the integrity of the electrical supply is foundational to operational success. </span></p> <p><span lang="EN-US"></span></p> <p><span lang="EN-US">By actively scanning for irregularities, Mersen’s surge protection equipment can preemptively engage its protective mechanisms, either blocking the surge or redirecting it to ground. This level of constant surveillance and immediate response ensures that the electrical systems remain safeguarded against surges, minimizing the risk of equipment damage and ensuring the reliability of the power distribution.</span></p> <p><span lang="EN-US"></span></p> <h3><span lang="EN-US">Resetting or replacement surge protection after surge events</span></h3> <p><span lang="EN-US">Following significant surge events, surge protective devices (SPDs) may need to be reset or replaced to ensure continued protection. In buildings, where the electrical infrastructure supports a myriad of essential services and sensitive electronics, some SPDs are equipped with self-resetting features for convenience and efficiency. However, in systems handling high-energy surges, such as those found in battery storage applications, manual inspection and replacement of the SPDs might be necessary to maintain optimal surge protection. Mersen designs its surge protection solutions with these considerations in mind, offering a range of devices that cater to the specific needs of each application. </span></p> </div> </div> </li> <li> <div class="paragraph paragraph--type--faq paragraph--view-mode--default"> <div class="paragraph__header"> <h2 class="paragraph__header__title">Questions about surge protection</h2> </div> <ul class='paragraph__faq'> <li class="paragraph__faq__item"> <details class="faq"> <summary class="faq__summary">Why choose Mersen for your surge protection equipment?</summary> <p>Mersen stands out as a leader in surge protection, offering solutions that meet the highest standards of safety and performance.
