DEHN protects the railway infrastructure

Sustainability, energy efficiency and environmental friendliness – hardly any other means of transport manages to combine these criteria. Nowadays, the majority of electrical energy for railway operations already comes from renewable sources.
To ensure smooth operation, sensitive systems must be protected from lightning and electromagnetic interference fields. Lightning and surge protection solutions from DEHN have proven themselves in tens of thousands of installations at countless satisfied customers worldwide.

With our protection solutions, we are paving the way for the digital future of railway technology.
