Stagobel - Why surge protection is a necessity!
Lightning damage is a more common issue than you think ...
Over 50,000 lightning strikes are recorded in Belgium every year. It is not only a direct lightning strike that can cause damage. Did you know that surges caused by lightning can be felt up to 2km from the point of impact? The consequences are not only annoying but also expensive!
Overvoltage protection for tertiary and industrial buildings
A reliably functioning technical installation is a must for smooth operations. Therefore, office facilities or production processes must be protected against unwanted breakdowns due to lightning and overvoltages. After all, a fault-free electrical installation must be guaranteed at all times.
Sensitive technology and automation systems, especially Industry 4.0 equipment, require good protection. Installations and sensors are networked and constantly communicate with each other. A localised overvoltage can impact the entire network and all consumers connected to it.
A robust and sustainable protection of all production processes against overvoltages is crucial. Here, both the power supply and the data & communication lines must be protected against lightning and overvoltages.
This applies equally to the protection of network technologies in Smart Buildings. Here too, damage caused by lightning and overvoltages can have serious consequences for employees, the building and the technologies.
With a complete lightning protection system, unnecessary costly failures are avoided. Consult our protection concept for offices and buildings to ensure the safety and continuity of an electrical installation and data network.
Not only the choice of the type of surge arrestor is important, but also where it is placed and how it is connected. For a comprehensive protection concept, other technologies such as telephony should not be overlooked. It is important to install a surge protection on those connections as well. The A.R.E.I., the CODEX on well-being at work and the normative document HD60364-4-443 also point out the need to protect.

Sick - FTMgRead moreCompressed air is one of the most expensive forms of energy in industrial production environments. Yet leaks often go undetected for long periods, resulting in unnecessary energy consumption and higher operating costs. To address these challenges, SICK offers the FTMg, an intelligent flow sensor that not only measures process data but also makes it easily accessible for analysis and optimisation.

ABB - ComfortLine 24 ModulesRead moreToday’s electrical installations require more space than ever before. Home automation, energy management, charging points, solar panels and media components all need to be neatly integrated into a single distribution board. As an installer, you know how important it is to have sufficient space for these applications, without compromising on ease of use or installation speed. The ABB ComfortLine 24 Modules has been developed with precisely these challenges in mind.

Mennekes - DUOi with LED voltage indicatorRead moreThe new switchable and lockable DUOi wall socket from MENNEKES gives you an immediate indication of its operating status. The integrated LED voltage indicator shows the status of the unit in a power supply network of up to 3 phases: green = switched on and operational. No LED indicates that the unit is switched off or that there may be a fault. This allows faults to be identified and resolved quickly. Translated with DeepL.com (free version)

Henkelman - Opportunities for KittensRead moreFor a long time, itsme was just a “small” supplier of electrical components to Henkelman, a manufacturer of vacuum sealers. That changed when Andreas Klein joined Henkelman as a supply chain engineer in late 2024. During his studies, he had become familiar with procurement kitting, and now he saw opportunities to make procurement at his new employer more efficient, with itsme as a partner. In his current role as procurement manager, he is constantly looking for ways to further optimize costs across the board.
