Overvoltage protection is the protection of electrical and electronic devices against excessive electrical voltages. There are various ways in which an overvoltage can occur: through lightning or through capacitive or inductive coupling from other electrical systems. Effective protection also includes external lightning protection, which protects against lightning strikes in the vicinity of electrical systems.

To ensure reliable surge protection, you can rely on ZORC modules from GINO. These protection devices are specially developed to dissipate overvoltages and thus protect systems from damage. They switch quickly in the event of overvoltages and conduct the current safely to earth to protect devices and systems.

Overvoltages can have a considerable impact in industry. If they are not properly discharged or protected, they can cause serious damage to electrical systems and devices. Surge protection devices play a crucial role in protecting sensitive electronic equipment from the dangers of external overvoltage.

Without adequate protection, overvoltages in industry can have serious consequences. They can destroy electrical systems and devices in a short space of time, from damage to motors and generators to breakdowns in production processes. The use of suitable surge protection devices and external lightning protection is therefore of great importance. Effective protection ensures that the operating environment is reliably protected, employees can work safely and production downtimes are minimized.
