KRONE offers a comprehensive product range of protection components, satisfying all the safety requirements of modern information systems.

Telecommunication networks, data processing systems, as well as measurement and control systems are continually being expanded world-wide. This increases the risk of components being damaged or destroyed by overvoltages and overcurrents.

The result is not only direct hardware losses in the damaged or destroyed facilities, which are an integral part of production, communication or data storage processes, but also network downtimes the costs of which are difficult to calculate.

It is this loss of network accessibility that leads to data loss or a breakdown in communication which not infrequently result in a delay in deliveries or even in a breakdown of production. The costs of such delays can be a multiple of the costs of the direct physical damage to the system.

According to information from the insurance industry it is indirect – that is, not calculable – atmospheric influences such as lightning which account for 95% of the damage. In Germany alone this results in a total annual loss of several billion Euros.

In addition to the material loss, the operators of systems and networks also have to take into account the risk to life.

Often the recognition that even small overvoltages can cause unforeseeable losses only comes after the loss has occurred.
