Product Information

Full details

The DEHN DV M TNS 255 FM (951405) is a multipole, modular surge arrester designed for low-voltage consumer installations in commercial and industrial buildings, particularly those using TN-S systems. Its key benefit is robust protection against surges and direct lightning strikes, ensuring high availability of terminal equipment. A potential caveat is its specific application in TN-S systems, requiring proper system compatibility assessment.

FAQs

What is a Type 1 + 2 surge arrester?

A Type 1 + 2 surge arrester combines the functions of a Type 1 (lightning current arrester) and a Type 2 (surge arrester) into a single device, providing comprehensive protection against both direct lightning strikes and subsequent surges.

What does TN-S system mean?

TN-S stands for 'Terra-Neutral-Separate,' an earthing system where the neutral conductor and the protective earth conductor are kept separate throughout the entire supply network.

What is RADAX Flow technology?

RADAX Flow is a technology used in DEHN surge arresters that effectively limits follow currents, ensuring that after a surge is suppressed, the electrical system can quickly return to normal operation without sustained current flow through the arrester.

Can this be used in residential buildings?

While designed for commercial and industrial use, its suitability for residential buildings depends on the specific electrical installation and protection requirements. It is typically installed in the main distribution board.

How do I know if a protection module needs replacement?

The DEHN DV M TNS 255 FM may include visual indicators on the modules. Refer to the product manual for specific status indication information. A qualified electrician should perform replacements.

What is the maximum continuous voltage?

The maximum continuous voltage (Uc) for this arrester is AC 264V.

What is the nominal voltage?

The nominal voltage (Un) is AC 230V.

Troubleshooting

Device shows no status indication

Check the connection to the electrical system and ensure the protection modules are correctly seated in the base.

Overheating or unusual noise

Immediately de-energize the system and contact a qualified electrician. This may indicate a severe surge event or internal fault.

Reduced performance or frequent tripping

Verify the system's earthing is correct and that the arrester is suitable for the network's voltage and surge characteristics. Consult the installation manual or a DEHN technician.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Provides robust protection against both lightning strikes and transient surges.
  • Modular design simplifies installation, replacement, and maintenance of protection modules.
  • RADAX Flow technology enhances system availability by effectively managing follow currents.
  • Suitable for demanding commercial and industrial environments.
  • Meets stringent EN 61643-11 standards for surge protection devices.

Cons

  • Primarily designed for TN-S systems, limiting its applicability in other network configurations.
  • Requires professional installation due to its role in main electrical protection.
  • The modular nature means individual components (base and modules) need to be managed.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Installation requires professional expertise. The device comprises a base and pluggable protection modules. It is designed for TN-S systems and should be installed at the boundary of lightning protection zones 0A and 2, typically at the main distribution board.

Compatibility: This arrester is specifically designed for TN-S earthing systems. Ensure your installation matches this configuration before proceeding.

Care: No regular user maintenance is typically required. Periodic visual inspection by qualified personnel is recommended to ensure the device is undamaged and operating correctly. Faulty modules should be replaced using genuine DEHN spares.
