Surge protection

Surges can be caused, for example,by lightning striking near your premises.

Lightning induces voltage surges in conductors and cables that can damage

any connected equipment. Switching in households, with conventional power

supplies of uorescent lamps for example, can also cause surges in the wiring

system of a building.

The steadily growing number of electronic household appliances and enter-

tainment units over the last few years has also increased the extent of

damage. A single power surge can quickly lead to costly damages amounting

to thousands of Euros, as smaller components often have close tolerance limits

for the power supplied. If they are damaged, the entire unit has to be repaired.

This is often complicated and costly. AEG surge solutions provide effective

protection.
