Personal protective equipment and active protection systems for arc fault protection

Each and every day electrotechnical work is carried out at wind turbines all over the world. The risk that technical defects, maloperations, contaminants or foreign objects in the installation cause arc faults cannot be excluded.

Schutz vor Störlichtbögen mit richtiger Ausrüstung

If arc faults occur, workers are exposed to temperatures of more than 10,000°C and suffer severe burns. The different DEHN protection systems provide maximum safety:
