    Protection against overvoltages caused by lightning strikes PRF1, PRD, PF surge arresters: easier to install, improved effectiveness

    A guide to help you choose the right surge arrester

    With Merlin Gerin, lightning protection can easily

    90% of power outlets supply equipment incorporating electronic devices.

    Merlin Gerin
    is today one of the leading global brands of power distribution equipment. In the quest for ever greater safety and continuity of service, the ranges are changing to meet all residential, tertiary and industrial protection requirements.

    More and more electrical equipment is today sensitive to overvoltages caused by lightning strikes.
    In response to these new requirements, Merlin Gerin, the leading power distribution manufacturer, is devoting its efforts to lightning protection.
    To make it easier to select surge arresters for electrical installations and to implement and maintain them, 550 specialists design and produce surge arresters in compliance with international standards. Merlin Gerins surge arresters are highly suitable for electrical contractors and meet their users most stringent requirements. From Grenoble to Salt Lake City, from Brussels to Shanghai, quality requirements are being pushed to the limit. Each site has obtained ISO 9001 and/or ISO 14001 certification.

    be integrated into the power distribution system

    A Merlin Gerin innovation,

    Quick PF and Combi PRF1 ready-to-wire surge arresters incorporate their own disconnection circuit breaker: easy to choose and simple to install for greater effectiveness.

    For all low voltage switchboards and electrical enclosures,

    a range of surge arresters that is simple to install.


    The effectiveness of lightning protection is closely related to the implementation of its surge arresters. To ensure the protection of equipment connected to low voltage networks, telecommunications networks, computer networks, Merlin Gerin has designed a complete range of surge arresters that can be perfectly integrated into the enclosures and electrical switchboards of its switchgear assembly and installation systems. Certified coordination between the surge arrester and its disconnection circuit breaker, Protection against the nuisance tripping of si and SiE earth leakage protection devices during a lightning strike, Easy to implement and use, Compatibility with all earthing systems (TT, TNS, TNC, IT), Technical and aesthetic consistency, Compliance with standards, Availability of products and services.

    n residential buildings

    Estimate the value of the equipment to be protected


    n domestic equipment: n audio-video equipment,

    computers,
    n electrical appliances, n burglar alarm.

    The value is estimated by considering:


    n tertiary buildings n the financial cost of the equipment n the economic impact of equipment downtime

    n building equipment: n fire alarm, access control, n automated heating or air-conditioning, n lift. n business equipment: n programmable machine, n server, n sound or light control system. n heavy equipment: n medical infrastructure, n production infrastructure, n heavy computer processing.

    n industrial buildings

    Determine the type of building


    n detached house, n flat, small semi-detached house, n common areas of a building, n professional premises.

    Lightning protection can be calculated for an entire building or for part of a building that is electrically independent.

    ose the best lightning protection

    As proof of the complete effectiveness of lightning protection in meeting each need,

    Identify the type of power distribution


    Integration into the electrical power distribution: n single switchboard or main switchboard, n subdistribution board, n sensitive equipment more than 30 m from the switchboard.

    Merlin Gerin offers a simple and effective selection method.

    Depending on the size of the building and the extent of its electrical system, one or more surge arresters must be used in the various switchboards in the installation.

    Understand the risk of the impact of lightning on the site


    Location of the building: n in an urban, suburban, grouped housing area.

    n in plain area.

    Lightning is attracted by high points that conduct electricity. They can be:
    n natural: tall trees, mountain peaks, damp areas, ferrous soils. n artificial: chimney stacks, aerials, pylons, lightning rods. Indirect effects can be incurred within a fifty metre radius around the point of impact.

    n in an area where there is a special risk (pylon, tree, mountainous region, mountain peak, damp area or pond).

    n in an exceptionally exposed area (lightning rod within 50 metres of a building).
