Expert knowledge for operators
Protection of personnel and switchgear assembly
The boss is responsible for the safety of his team. Arc faults generate temperatures of over 10,000° C and pressure waves of up to 2 bar. Toxic combustion residue escapes into the immediate surroundings.
Optimise system availability – keep costs under control
As the operator of a system, you are responsible for the safety of your personnel. You want to optimise system availability whilst also keeping an eye on the costs? Not as easy as it might sound!
Arc faults endanger your staff and threaten the permanent electrical power supply. A fault in the switchgear assembly can soon be an expensive business.
What do you have to lose if your production comes to a standstill? What are your delivery commitments towards your customers?

This is what our partners say:
Play it safe. Update your risk analysis and review
Arc faults are a hazard for your employees
As the employer, it is your responsibility. Occupational safety legislation requires you to provide comprehensive protection for your employees.
Update your risk analysis and review these issues:
- What potential danger does the assembly present?
- Where is my assembly and who has access to it?
- How can I provide the best possible safety for my employees?
You can quickly find the right protection system depending on the type of assembly, the energy density and the requirements.
Round the clock protection for your assembly with DEHNshort: The arc fault protection system detects an arc fault as soon as it arises and quenches it within milliseconds. After the fault localisation, exchange of the quenching device and insulation measurements, the assembly can be recommissioned and production resumed.
