How does transient voltage affect my operations?
Internal and external electrical threats- -from overvoltage to a lightning strike - pose a serious threat to the success of your business. No matter your industry, damage caused by transient voltage can take a physical and financial toll.
Think of it like this: Your company is a well-oiled machine made up of intricate components that all work together to get the job done right and on time. If one piece can’t do its job, the entire machine could break down.
A surge event caused by transient voltage from your internal components could render essential equipment inoperable, while a lightning strike could cause damage to the roof of one of your facilities, jeopardizing the safety of the systems and employees within it.
The result? Halted operations, delayed processes, and hundreds of thousands of dollars in repairs, replacements, and lost revenue. You also run the risk of gaining a negative reputation if the effects of the power quality disturbance interfere with your ability to provide for customers or meet contractual obligations.
Know the risks – Strike first
Proactive protection begins with up-to-date information. While we know that 80% of transient voltage derives from internal systems and 20% from external threats such as lightning strikes, specific threats differ from industry to industry and business to business.
That’s where DEHN comes in. We understand that you and your team are focused on running your business and remaining a leader in your industry.
When you work with our team, we combine our decades of proven processes and transient voltage expertise with your industry experience to create a protection system that meets your specialized needs.
With our detailed risk assessment, you don’t have to search for the answers alone or blindly install protective equipment that you may not need or even know how to work.
We’ll start by running an analysis that looks for existing and potential electrical threats to your employees, customers, facilities, systems, and finances. Our assessment will also identify opportunities for protection and inform us of the most appropriate solutions for each area or aspect we analyze.
Even if you have some transient voltage protection currently in place, we can perform an audit to ensure it stands up to constantly evolving threats and is compliant with industry standards, such as NFPA 780.
There’s never a wrong time to start safeguarding your business. Request an assessment from DEHN today.
Power quality assurance for diverse industries and applications
In the North American market, DEHN partners with businesses within the following industries:
Electric vehicles
While still a relatively new market, the EV industry is growing at a rapid rate. Your EV operation works tirelessly to meet this demand, but your efforts could prove useless if your charging infrastructure is not properly protected.
Charging stations require grounding systems and surge protection devices to operate safely. Without this protection, EVs and those charging them are vulnerable to overvoltage and lightning strikes. A split-second surge could cause irreparable damage to the system and even cause bodily harm to a person using the charger.
DEHN has the power to protect your valuable EV infrastructure.
The energy supply industry is responsible for providing access to oil, natural gas, electricity, and renewable energy, such as wind, solar, and geothermal power.
While the NEC has some regulations regarding the protection of these important facilities and systems, their standards are not updated to reflect the pressing threats transient electrical events pose to your energy supply operations.
Even a small surge event or lightning strike could have irreversible consequences on the operation and longevity of photovoltaic systems, wind turbines, biogas plants, and water and wastewater plants. Reduce the risk of experiencing the negative effects of transient voltage with proven solutions from DEHN.
