Lightning protection systems
DEHN protects your business from lightning strikes – nature’s most unpredictable force
The only thing predictable about lightning is the sheer power of a single strike – according to the National Weather Service, a typical strike is made up of 300 million volts, or about 30,000 Amps.
Without proper protection in place, lightning can cause catastrophic damage to your buildings and mechanical systems. DEHN's comprehensive lightning protection solutions act as a shield between your business’s power quality and safety, and the devastating side effects of a lightning strike, especially fires. Check out our selection of products below.
Protect your business from lightning threats
Lightning strikes, with their immense powerful voltage, pose a significant risk of severely damaging your business infrastructure and electronic systems. This can include data loss and system outages as well as an increased risk of fires and structural failures.
From expensive electronics to essential facilities, the risk of lightning-related damage is too high to ignore. Fortunately, DEHN offers a wide range of solutions designed to neutralize these threats, ensuring your systems remain operational and undamaged.
DEHN’s lightning protection solutions proactively address vulnerable components and guard them against the electrical surge that comes with a lightning strike due to our comprehensive approach. Using a holistic combination of lightning protection, surge protection, surge suppression solutions, and grounding systems, we can stop transient voltage in its tracks, before it damages the sensitive components in your systems.
Structural lightning protection involves the use of specialized systems designed to intercept, conduct, and safely disperse the electrical energy generated by lightning strikes, thereby preventing damage to buildings and infrastructure. These systems typically include air terminals (a lightning rod), down conductors, and ground electrodes.
Our products, including surge protection devices (SPDs), are built to intercept transient voltages caused by lightning, ensuring they are safely grounded and do not reach sensitive components in your systems.
DEHN’s ELP portfolio: Protect your future with enhanced lighting protection
Lightning is not an uncommon phenomenon. In fact, worldwide, lightning strikes nearly 40 times per second.
When your buildings lack proper lightning protection, these intense electrical surges are even more likely to occur and lead to fires, structural damage, and widespread power disruptions. Our External Lightning Protection (ELP) product line is a selection of products, including air terminals, that form a protective barrier around your facilities.
Our ELP portfolio meets all UL96 standards, ensuring top-tier protection for various building types. The rooftop installation concept surrounds your building with a structural "cage" of protection that diverts lightning away from vulnerable areas, reducing the chance of fires or power outages.
Our ELP solution is the result of over a century of expertise in lightning protection. We simplify the process of protecting your building from lightning strikes, so you can focus on running your business with peace of mind.
