All-encompassing solutions for transient voltage issues
As the world around us becomes increasingly more reliant on electric operations, protecting your electric components and facilities is paramount.
You wouldn’t leave a valuable asset such as your car outside when you know a hail storm is coming—you pull it into the garage. So why leave your valuable infrastructure exposed to unpredictable power quality disturbances? When you work with DEHN, we bring the garage to you.
Our process starts with an introductory call to solidify your specific protection needs at the top of our priority list. We’ll perform an on-site inspection to identify existing threats to your unique systems and facilities so you receive the information you need to take control of your power quality and company safety.
Request an assessment today to take the first step toward quality transient voltage protection.
The leading voice of education and awareness in the industry, the Lightning Protection Institute is enacting a campaign to raise the percentage of companies in the U.S. with lightning protection from 6% to 10%. At DEHN, we’re committed to going beyond this goal until every entity in North America has quality protection from lightning and surge events for their facilities, systems, and employees.
That’s why we ensure all of our products and services meet or exceed the expectations of the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) 780 guidelines. The governing body of lightning protection in the U.S., the NFPA has been the regulatory body of the industry since its founding in 1896.
Combining our expertise in the International Electrotechnical Commission regulations with our knowledge of the NFPA’s latest guidelines, we can ensure every step of our process from concept planning to professional installation will keep you in compliance with industry standards.
Compliance
Since 1910, DEHN has been revolutionizing our processes to curate a range of highly effective surge protection and grounding systems, including:
Premium products for transient voltage risk reduction
EV: The prevalence of electric vehicles is rapidly increasing across North America, with new EV sales records being broken each year. DEHN can help your EV organization shield your valuable charging infrastructure from electrical threats that would cause damage to charging stations and the electrical vehicles they serve.
Energy Supply: When photovoltaic systems, wind turbines, biogas plants, and water and wastewater plants are damaged by transient surges or lightning strikes, the negative effects on your company can be economic as well as material. Get comprehensive protection from a single source when you choose DEHN.
Process Technology: For the oil, gas, and chemical industries, transient voltage damage can manifest in a variety of ways. From halted drilling rigs to compromised pipelines, these electrical threats could even detract from your business's reputation as a safe, reliable operation if the sensitive materials you work with aren’t properly contained or handled. DEHN has decades of experience protecting processing plants and employs constantly evolving solutions to stay ahead of your industry’s new technology needs.
Battery Storage Systems: A wide range of sensitive electronics make up your electric battery storage systems. When overvoltage occurs or lightning strikes, this equipment can be damaged beyond repair, hindering your ability to fulfill your contractual power supply obligations. With our customizable power quality protection concepts, you can prevent the chances of costly repairs and power disruptions.
At DEHN, our products and services are designed to bring you peace of mind that your systems and employees are protected so you can focus on running your business to its greatest potential.

Lightning Risk Assessment: Start your project off on the right foot with our highly accurate report compliant with NFPA 780 Annex L. This service outlines potential lightning threats to your organization so you can make informed decisions moving forward.
Advanced Lightning Studies: To ensure your new structures and grounding systems are effective, we will use complex modeling and software to simulate lightning injection current distribution. These coordination studies will evaluate safety and equipment risks while ensuring compliance with IEC 62305-4 and equipment protection levels.
Lightning Protection System Design: Using risk analysis outcomes and extensive project information, we will create a custom lightning and surge protection plan for you and deliver a bill of materials and precise system configurations.
Safety Grounding System Design: At DEHN, we gather soil and electrical data to help design and simulate safe earthing systems that effectively manage the step and touch voltage danger to humans in compliance with IEEE Std. 80 or IEC 60479-1.
Grounding System Audits: Verify that your grounding system’s design parameters, such as resistance fall of potential measurements, are compliant with the requirements outlined in NEC Article 250.
Surge Protection Audits: To ensure adherence to the relevant standards, your existing protective systems need to be tested and inspected. Our audits produce detailed reports for recommendations for repairs and improvements, as well as alterations to ensure correct application and placement locations.
Full Engineering Turnkey Service: DEHN provides all-encompassing solutions that span the design, sourcing, installation, and review by a professional in-house engineer for all protective systems.

Do you know the risks currently facing your infrastructure?
Request an assessment
Lightning strikes about 100 times per second. While that is a startling statistic, an even more concerning threat looms within your facilities and electrical components. Roughly 80 percent of all transient voltage is the result of electrical noise from your own internal systems.
It only takes one split-second surge or strike to cause irreparable damage that could cost your business millions of dollars in repairs, delayed operations, and even data loss. Electrical events also pose a serious threat to the health and safety of the employees working on your unprotected systems or buildings.
Retroactive action can’t undo the expensive damages and operational downtime that internal or external transient voltage can cause. Strike first with proactive protection solutions from DEHN. Our international experts have made it their mission to optimize the operations and enhance the employee safety of North American companies across various industries.
