3 Surge protection systems for
data and information technology
Data and information technology systems are used in
many different applications.
To avoid such failures, suitable protection measures
have taken. Almost every electronic
system used process information considered ex-
tremely important.1 Planning methods
Basic principles
These days, communication and systems are the
lifelines almost every company. order prevent failure even destruction
of these systems, they must integrated into the
lightning and surge protection concept. has become even more import-
ant protect these systems too against dangerous
surges.
3. The following factors must taken
into account:
• The connection system the protection device
must fit the device protected. To
avoid such failures, suitable protection measures have
to taken.
In practice, the wide range standard information,
telecommunication and measurement systems often
makes the selection the right surge protection
device complex. Ever increasing volumes data
are being stored and must accessible all times
at very short notice.Energy cable

• The protection device may only exert the minimum
of impacts, such attenuation and reflection, on
the transmission path.3.
• Parameters such the highest signal level,
highest frequency, maximum protection level and
the installation environment must taken into ac-
