F&F surge protectors – protection of electrical installations

Added: Thursday, 12/5/2024


Protection of electrical installations is essential for safety, but is also required by law. Surge arresters certainly work very well, but so do other surge protections. Protectors deserve attention.

Why are surge protectors necessary in electrical installations?

Surge protectors are essential in electrical installations. It is important to know that they are used in both private homes and public buildings. It is thanks to them that you can use various electronic devices. In addition, they prevent damage to equipment.

Power consumption limiter OM-1 load regulation 200-2000VA, I=16A, Thanks to them, you can effectively protect your home or office. You should definitely invest in a surge arrester, which is a device that provides protection against transient surges, but also limits the frequency or duration. Therefore, this device is used to limit excessive voltage. It also protects the entire installation against switching surges.

Such surge protection gives you maximum safety. Securing electronic devices and systems prevents fires, but also damage to equipment. You also don't have to worry about a failure caused by voltage surges. As a result, you won't have to deal with the effects of surges, which can lead to the complete destruction of the entire network, and the repair costs are really high. If a fire or equipment damage occurs, you can't always expect compensation. It all depends on what your insurance covers. Therefore, gaining surge protection is essential.

F&F surge protection offer

Disturbances, overvoltages, but also grounding damage occur very often if proper protection is not used. F&F products deserve attention, which protect against overvoltages and guarantee effective protection of the entire installation. You can choose a phase current value indicator, which is used for indirect measurement.

Power consumption limiter F&F OM-631 load regulation 200-1000VA, I=16A, 3 modules The distance sensor or voltage indicator with blanking are also worth mentioning. We recommend a surge protection system that protects devices in the circuit. It works with typical network surges as well as asymmetric surges. You can opt for professional class III protection, which is necessary in industrial switchboards. The surge arrester with a triple filter meets strict quality and safety standards.

Of course, you should also buy fuse inserts, which are designed to protect devices and cables, both against short circuits and overloads. It is mainly a properly selected security system that guarantees the safety and efficient operation of the installation.

How to choose the right F&F surge protection?

Properly selected surge protection can be used in both small and larger installations. Of course, the key here is to select a surge protection from the manufacturer F&F.

F&F OP-230 Class D surge protector with anti-interference filter Un=230V Imax=10A It all depends on the type of building. In addition, it should be checked whether a lightning protection system is installed. The use of a surge arrester is primarily necessary in the electrical switchboard. The F&F surge arrester should be selected depending on the type of threat. The first type is used where partial currents are involved.

The second type is used to protect against induced overvoltages. Class three protection is used in industrial switchboards. The advanced overvoltage system protects devices in the circuit in which the protector is switched on.

F&F surge protection installation and maintenance

Installations equipped with surge protection systems ensure more efficient operation and a significantly lower risk of failure or fire. Atmospheric and switching surges occur very often and in such cases it is necessary to use a surge arrester, which serves to protect cables and transformers.

The installation and maintenance of F&F surge protectors are not complicated, just follow the manufacturer's recommendations. By choosing a surge protector, you can protect your installation from a serious failure. If you choose surge protectors, remember that they can wear out and most often, their replacement is recommended every 3 to 5 years.
