DEHN protects the railway infrastructure
Avoid system downtime and interruptions.
Sustainability, energy efficiency and environmental friendliness – hardly any other means of transport manages to combine these criteria. Nowadays, the majority of electrical energy for railway operations already comes from renewable sources.
To ensure smooth operation, sensitive systems must be protected from lightning and electromagnetic interference fields. Lightning and surge protection solutions from DEHN have proven themselves in tens of thousands of installations at countless satisfied customers worldwide.
With our protection solutions, we are paving the way for the digital future of railway technology.



Protecting railway technology applications
Digitalisation and electrification are key aspects of modern rail technology. Digital transformation is changing the world of rail technology and with it the protection requirements. Whether its interlockings, level crossing protection systems or point heaters – high-quality and safe solutions are always important when installing lightning and surge protection devices. These must comply with applicable standards and railway guidelines, be readily available and easy to install.
We protect future technologies of digital railway operation and railway technology applications.
For the safety of rail infrastructure, employees and passengers.
