Product list Surge protection
CHARX protect – protective device for protecting charging stations and vehicles against damage due to lightning strikes and switching operations.
No-risk charging: Protect charging stations and electric vehicles against damage caused by lightning and overvoltages with CHARX protect. We will provide you with a comprehensive surge protection concept to ensure that your charging infrastructure remains available at all times – at any time of the day or night, and in bad weather and wind.
Your advantages
- Complete protection for your charging infrastructure due to the comprehensive product range
- Uninterrupted continuation of the charging process with a protected power supply
- Protection for the connected e-vehicle with a safe surge protection concept
Electric vehicle charging – safe, highly available, and uninterrupted
The charging infrastructure for electric vehicles is just as complex as the vehicle itself: From the power supply and components for visualizing the charging process to the cables for Ethernet communication, the charging station is equipped with a large number of important and sensitive components. They need to be protected to ensure that the charging infrastructure has a long service life and that the charging process is uninterrupted.
A comprehensive protection concept therefore consists of three areas:
- Our type 1+2 combined lightning current and surge arresters and type 2 protective devices for the power supply protect feed-in against dangerous overvoltages caused by lightning strikes and switching operations from the grid.
- Use type 3 surge protective devices to ensure the long-term function of numerous sensitive components within your charging station.
- The communication components are usually connected over Ethernet and should also be protected.
Our comprehensive product portfolio
The variety of our products ensures that you will find the right surge protective device for all fields of application.
Lightning current arresters and surge protective devices for protecting the feed-in system
The VAL-EV-T1/T2 surge protective device designed specifically for charging stations provides safe and reliable protection against overvoltages caused by lightning strikes and switching operations. The high voltage peaks on the supply lines caused by an overvoltage can result in damage to equipment and the connected vehicle. The surge protection limits these voltages via the varistor-based combined lightning current and surge arrester, which ensures permanent availability.
Surge protective devices for protecting the feed-in system
If you can rule out the possibility of direct lightning strikes to the charging station or home charger, a type 2 protective device provides sufficient protection for your application. The VAL-EV-T2 surge protective device, designed specifically for this type of application, ensures reliable feed-in. The connected vehicle is also protected, and the charging process can be continued without interruption if any overvoltages occur.
Lightning current arresters and surge protective devices for the busbar system
The narrow FLT-SEC-ZP combined lightning current and surge arrester is not only ideal for building installation – it also protects your charging station against dangerous lightning currents. Benefit from quick and easy installation on the 40 mm busbar system directly in the charging station or in the adjacent building.
Surge protective devices for protecting sensitive components
Many components in charging stations with a 24 V power supply are sensitive and susceptible to voltages that are too high. Protect these components with a type 3 protective device. The PLT-SEC for 24 V DC can be installed quickly thanks to the proven Push-in connection technology.
Surge protective devices for PCB mounting
The VAL-MS-BE PCB base element is designed for direct mounting on a printed circuit board. It is designed for all protective plugs in the VALVETRAB MS product range. The protective plugs for the VAL-EV surge protective devices, designed specifically for charging stations, can also be used here. This range includes T1+T2 combined lightning current and surge arresters as well as type 2 surge protective devices.
Surge protective devices for protecting Ethernet communication
It is not just in public spaces that charging stations are often equipped with components for communication with billing or building management systems, such as cellular communication modems or Ethernet switches. These devices are also sensitive to overvoltages. The DT-LAN surge protective devices for information technology provide the ideal solution here. The Ethernet cables are protected and operation is ensured.
