Kanlux Lighting protection
When lightning, switching surges, or overvoltage events threaten your electrical system, you need protection that doesn’t guess — you need certainty. The Kanlux lighting protection range delivers exactly that: surge protection devices (SPDs), lightning arresters, over-voltage modules and earthing solutions engineered for real-world installation and long-term performance.
Surge Protection Devices (SPDs) — First Line of Defence
Kanlux SPDs (for example the KSD-T1+T2 275/60 1P) are varistor-based surge arresters designed to protect low-voltage installations against direct and indirect atmospheric discharges, as well as switching surges.
Key specs include: highest continuous operating voltage Uc = 275 V, discharge capacity Imax up to 60 kA, voltage protection level Up ≤ 1.5 kV
These modules mount on TH35 DIN-rails, usage zones from 0A-1 (in accordance with EN 62305) for lightning protection.
For example:
- KSD-T2 275/40 M – Class T2, designed for induced/switching surges in buildings without full lightning protection.
- KSD-T1+T2 275/180 3P – Class T1+T2 for more demanding environments.
Installers rely on these devices in commercial buildings, production halls, hotel-infrastructure and anywhere sensitive equipment or lighting control systems must remain operational despite electrical disturbances.
Lightning Arresters & Overvoltage Modules — Protecting the Infrastructure
Beyond SPDs, the Kanlux portfolio includes lightning arresters and overvoltage modules that handle heavier fault currents and provide system-level protection. These are critical in zones where incoming supply may be exposed to lightning influences or where large switching loads generate transients.
By specifying Kanlux arresters, you ensure the lightning protection chain is complete: air-termination system, equipotential bonding, and surge diversion all supported with certified components.
Earthing Systems & Transient Voltage Protectors — The Complete Shield
A surge protector is only as good as the earthing and bonding system behind it. Kanlux supports the full protection chain: earthing conductors, potential equalisation, transient voltage protectors and modules integrated into the lighting protection strategy. When you install Kanlux lighting protection, you're not just adding a device — you’re reinforcing the whole system.
Installer-Focused Highlights & Practical Notes
- DIN-rail format modules (often 17.5 mm width per module) for efficient panel layouts.
- Temperature range: –40 °C to +70 °C for many devices, ensuring reliability in varied environments
- Rated according to EN 61643-1 and EN 61643-11 standards.
- Tip for field: Always install SPDs as close as possible to the supply entry (main distribution board) and ensure low impedance earth/PE path for proper diversion of surge current.
- Ensure your lightning protection zones (LPZ) are correctly considered: e.g., T1 for incoming supply, T2 for sub-distribution. The Kanlux range covers both.
