FLASHTRAB compact PLUS for high current applications

FLASHTRAB compact PLUS are compact and powerful type 1 lightning arresters. For all applications in the main power supply system, FLT-CP-PLUS provides a suitable installation block that can be also used in the area of intermediate meters in an unrestricted manner. The powerful arresters enable system protection against lightning of up to 200,000 amperes and thus conform to the highest lightning protection class BSK1.

The Powerpack

Energy supplies for residential blocks and industrial installations lead to a high requirement for lightning and surge protection. FLASHTRAB compact PLUS provides convenient solutions for all these applications.

A complete installation block is available for all common 3, 4 or 5-conductor networks.

Innovative technology


The high breaking capacity of the innovative spark gap technology also enables use in low-voltage high-current systems with short-circuit currents up to 50 kA.

The encapsulated lightning arresters are designed such that they consume only little line follow current so that even the smallest of backup fuses remain unaffected.




Pluggable to perfection


The universal pluggability of individual arresters ensures a high degree of convenience, e.g. for insulation measurements in the system. The connectors are simply pulled out instead of operations on the installation.

The functional capability of the protective connectors can be seen at a glance, as the mechanical status indicator displays information about the condition of the lightning arresters directly on site. A floating remote indication contact integrated in the arrester block enables remote signaling without taking up extra space.




A complete system


The protective devices of the "compact" range offer a comprehensive installation concept. Uniform and powerful modules are available for almost  every power supply system.

Whether it is a lightning arrester, a surge arrester or a combination of the two - this design will convince you with its consistent and well-planned application features.
