There is a risk of voltage rises wherever there is electricity.As a matter of fact, electricity has a characteristic that increases in contact with the surfaces and increases its intensity.
Therefore, even if the electrical installations of the buildings are made in a procedure-appropriate manner, there is always the risk of overvoltage.In order to protect it and to prevent its damage, it is necessary to integrate systems known as building over-voltage protection.
What Is Overvoltage Protection?
Overvoltage protection is a system that reduces the voltage circulation by integrating with places where there is a risk of voltage.Usually internal lightning and surge arrester systems referred to in this way.It is claimed that the voltage protection connected to the entrance of the building line and certain places puts the over-voltage in the network out of the system by grounding function.
These protections are generally placed in the main distribution panels.
It is important that they are at the centers where the electric circulation is coordinated.
They can protect the network from the effects of lightning if they are placed in the right places.
However, it should be noted that the surge arresters, the bare system, the external and internal lightning systems alone are not sufficient in many respects, as the voltage cannot be transmitted to the ground, the current can be transmitted.
What is the Best Way to Protect Against Over-Voltage?
It is worth mentioning that the lightning hazard is always valid.
Internal and external lightning systems are claimed to be used to ground high voltage, but these systems often fail because the voting is not transmitted to the ground, the current can be transmitted.Voltage is the potential difference between the two ends.Surge arresters and other internal lightning systems may ground high currents.However, since these devices cannot limit the high voltage in the system, they will be dangerous when their upper limits are exceeded.
Disengagement of one of the lightning rods on the main panel means that the entire network is exposed to high current with high voltage.On the other hand, the disconnection of the surge arresters still on the installation will increase the danger as it will strengthen the transmission.
With the Trimbox it is possible to provide precise protection against lightning and other sources of over-voltage.
Why Trimbox is Effective in Over-voltage Protection?
Trimbox, is a device that performs the function of surge arrester, but it is not a surge arrester.
Compared to devices such as surge arresters, regulators have a much different functionality.
By preventing the surge of electricity from reaching the high-voltage system from sources such as lightning and from network faults, with over-voltage damping feature, it prevents the installation and connected devices from being affected by this voltage.The upper limit of the voltage of Trimbox is very high and it is the level that will regulate the voltages generated from the lightning.
However, if this upper limit is exceeded, protects the system by disconnecting the device.
With Trimbox, it is possible to completely protect against over-voltage.
