Safe electrical installation in commercial and residential construction
Fire protection and lightning and surge protection from the ceiling to the roof
If we take a look at the interior of a building, then it soon becomes clear that electrical installations weave their way through it: starting in the cellar, through vertical shafts and corridors, up to the rooms which are actually used.
The risks from lightning strikes, surges and the spread of fire to the electrical building installation are frequently underestimated. Here, it is not only the direct lightning strikes that can lead to major damage to electronic devices and systems, but also lightning strikes at distances of up to two kilometres or even everyday switching operations in the power grid. Fires can also start quickly. Therefore, following the path of the current, suitable measures must be taken in the building to guarantee the safety of the people in the building and protect electrical devices.
