EGS device systems from OBO BETTERMANN represent a comprehensive modular platform for surge protection, overvoltage protection, and device protection in low-voltage electrical installations. These systems are designed for both AC and DC applications, covering nominal voltages from 12 V to 1000 V AC/DC, with surge current capacities up to 100 kA per pole (10/350 µs waveform). The modular design allows for flexible configuration with pluggable protection modules, base elements, and remote signaling contacts. Key technical parameters include response times below 25 ns, protection levels (Up) as low as 1.2 kV, and compliance with IEC 61643-11 standards. The systems are available in single-pole (1P), two-pole (2P), three-pole (3P), and four-pole (4P) configurations, with options for N-PE protection. Mounting is typically on 35 mm DIN rails, with IP20 or IP54 enclosure ratings depending on the application. The EGS series integrates seamlessly with other OBO BETTERMANN components, such as grounding and lightning protection systems, ensuring coordinated protection for sensitive electronic equipment.
EGS device systems are deployed across a wide range of industrial and commercial sectors. In industrial automation, they protect PLCs, drives, and control panels from transient overvoltages caused by switching operations or lightning strikes. In building management systems, they safeguard HVAC controllers, lighting controls, and fire alarm panels. The systems are also critical in telecommunications infrastructure, data centers, and renewable energy installations, such as photovoltaic (PV) arrays and wind turbines, where they protect inverters and monitoring equipment. Typical installation environments include main distribution boards (MDBs), sub-distribution boards (SDBs), and dedicated equipment enclosures. The modularity allows for easy integration into existing electrical networks without extensive rewiring, making them ideal for retrofitting projects.
The EGS device systems category includes several subcategories and key article codes. The main product lines are the EGS 1 series for Type 1 surge arresters (e.g., EGS 1 255-100, EGS 1 440-100), the EGS 2 series for Type 2 surge arresters (e.g., EGS 2 255-40, EGS 2 440-40), and the EGS 3 series for Type 3 surge arresters (e.g., EGS 3 255-20, EGS 3 440-20). Additionally, there are combined Type 1+2 devices (e.g., EGS 1+2 255-50) and specialized modules for DC applications (e.g., EGS 1 DC 1000-50). The article code structure typically follows the pattern: EGS [type] [voltage]-[surge current], where type indicates the surge protection class (1, 2, 3, or 1+2), voltage is the maximum continuous operating voltage (e.g., 255 V, 440 V, 1000 V), and surge current is the nominal discharge current in kA (e.g., 100, 40, 20). Accessories include base elements (e.g., EGS 1 BASE), remote signaling modules (e.g., EGS RM), and plug-in protection modules (e.g., EGS 1 255-100 P).
