Surge Protection

Technische modules 1 dagdeel Rotterdam

Elektrische installaties en gevoelige apparatuur zijn voortdurend kwetsbaar voor overspanning, veroorzaakt door blikseminslag, netstoringen of interne schakelingen. Eén enkele overspanning kan leiden tot uitval van systemen, dataverlies of hoge schadeposten. De training overspanningsbeveiliging van Dosign Academy helpt je deze risico’s te herkennen en effectieve maatregelen te treffen, zodat je de continuïteit en veiligheid van je installaties waarborgt.
