Wind power makes a sizeable contribution to the total power generated from renewable energy sources. The installation and operation costs must be amortised over the average 20-year operating phase of these plants. In order to do this, the entire lifecycle of the plants must be continually optimised and adjusted to changing circumstances, technological or economic. Constant monitoring and foresighted maintenance are essential. This is where DEHNdetect comes into play.

The combined lightning current and surge arresters of the new BLITZDUCTORconnect series protect automation and measuring and control systems in industrial environments as well as information technology interfaces. A high lightning current discharge capacity and a low protection level make them ideal components for reliable terminal device protection. They are available in a compact or modular design and both variants have a width of only 6 mm.

The new DEHNcombo YPV combined arrester from the lightning and surge protection specialist DEHN safely protects PV systems from surges caused by lightning interference. The arrester offers a number of application advantages for PV systems in a single device. The varistor-based protective device combines a type 1 lightning current arrester and a type 2 surge arrester and incorporates a tried and tested Y circuit.

The wireless inspection camera by DEHN is now available with an optional LED lighting unit which is quite simply mounted to the camera enclosure. The practical camera is ideal for inspecting and documenting the state of electrical installations up to 123 kV / 15-60 Hz – under live conditions. The extra lighting, point or diffused, makes it possible to use the camera in badly lit locations.
