 Surge protection and device protection
for LED lighting systems

LED technology provides durable solutions

for road and building lighting. Premature
blackouts caused by surge voltages
significantly reduce the savings potential
of energy-saving LED lights. This is often
caused by ballasts which are sensitive to
transient voltages. The dimensions of the
LED arresters are such that they can be
installed directly in the light. As there is
increased insulation, they can be used
in LED applications in protection class II
equipment.
Typical installation locations
① Light
② Cable terminal box in the mast

 Your advantages:
• Increased (double) insulation for
use in insulation protection class II
• L‘-connection to expand signal
maintaining protection status
• For insulated and grounded
lighting installations
• Low voltage protection level of
< 1.3 kV
• Nominal voltage range
100 V AC … 277 V AC

The L` connection can be used to transfer the signal to the lamp. If the surge protection disconnect device has triggered due to overload, then
the light is also switched off. This makes servicing and routine inspection of the surge protective devices significantly easier.
