Innovative technology solutions for all sectors of the electric power industry — from conventional generation to renewable energy and the mining industry
Setreon AG delivers advanced lightning protection systems that safeguard power lines and electrical infrastructure by reducing surge energy and preventing lightning-induced failures, ensuring higher grid reliability and safety worldwide.
LLPD (Line Lightning Protection Device) by Setreon AG is a specialized system used to protect overhead power transmission lines from lightning strikes. It works by controlling and redistributing the energy generated by lightning discharges, reducing the risk of flashovers and equipment damage. LLPD improves the reliability of electrical networks, especially in regions with high lightning activity, ensuring more stable and secure power transmission.
Line lightning protection devices operate on the principle of energy impulse dissipation. Lightning overvoltage leads to the formation of an arc on a power distribution line in the case of either a direct or indirect lightning strike. Equipment manufactured by Setreon utilizes the innovative EasyQuench technology, which ensures that the follow current, having the same frequency as the grid, is interrupted at the first current zero-crossing. It also guarantees a very fast restoration of the device’s electrical properties, making it impossible for the arc to develop further.
