Details
The modular devices of the DEHNsecure product family are coordinated lightning current arresters with a functional design.
They can be energy-coordinated with type 2 surge arresters of the DEHNguard SE DC family.
The DEHNsecure arresters combine high performance and ease of use in a single device. Their electrical parameters are rated for the most stringent requirements in lightning and surge protection systems.
The internal structure of the DEHNsecure spark gap is suited for use in d.c. circuits. The device concept prevents mains follow currents up to 25,000 A d.c. from occurring.
With this new arrester series, a consistent lightning protection zone concept including the cross-boundary d.c. lines can now be implemented.
Furthermore, the leakage-current-free version of the spark-gap-based arrester offers numerous advantages when used in insulation monitored systems or for applications with extreme requirements on the self-energy consumption.
DEHNsecure arresters are used, for example, in safety lighting systems, emergency power supplies, d.c. systems for direct supply of d.c. drives, control circuits and any kind of battery-operated power supply.
DEHNsecure M 1 60 (FM) and DEHNsecure M 2P 60 (FM) are specifically developed for Remote Radio Head (RRH) applications. Designed for possible high load currents, they leave sufficient margin for future extensions in the field of mobile communication.
DEHNsecure M 1 242 (FM) is used for safety lighting systems. The relevant loads are supplied with a.c. voltage during normal operation and with battery-operated d.c. voltage during emergency operation. As surges may occur during both operating states, DEHNsecure M 1 242 is suited for direct and alternating currents (backup fuse max. 10 A gG).
The modular design of the DEHNsecure arresters makes them safe and user-friendly. Their vibration-proof module locking system, for example, is said to be unique. Shock or vibration during transport or operation or enormous mechanical impulse loads resulting from discharges do not affect the module locking system which ensures safe fixation both for the base part and protection module. Nevertheless, the protection modules can be easily replaced without tools by simply pressing the easy-to-use module release button. The mechanically coded base part and protection module prohibit installing an incorrect module. DEHNsecure arresters incorporate double terminals, allowing series connection of the arresters in a space-saving and cost-effective way according to IEC 60364-5-53 requirements for nominal currents up to 125 A.
The operating state / fault indicator of DEHNsecure needs no power to operate and instantly shows the operating state of the device. Apart from the standard visual indicator with red and green indicator flags, DEHNsecure ... FM devices have an additional remote signalling output. With its floating changeover contact, the remote signal can be used as a break or make contact according to the particular circuit concept.
