Within the scope of its research activities, the group makes it its task to investigate the protective effect of existing concepts and protective devices and to develop the fundamentals for new protective solutions.
Basic research on and further development of surge protection devices (based on spark gaps, non-linear voltage-dependent resistors and power electronic components).
Surge protection devices for direct current (DC) systems (electrical power generation, DC transmission in the low- and high-voltage range, decentralized DC networks)
Generation of reproducible currents with pulse current systems for basic investigations as well as for testing protective devices and protection concepts
Simulation of transient processes in electrical networks (propagation of impulse voltages and impulse currents in low-voltage distribution networks and in electrical installations)
Co-use of the following equipment:
