Increased demand for circuit protection devices can be witnessed in India primarily because customers are keen to reduce the downtime of their equipment due to lightning and switching surges. The significant factors for the growth have been the latest NBC and NEC codes emphasizing the need for lightning surge protection devices and various technical awareness programs conducted by several Industrial trade bodies across India. The increasing number of connected devices has resulted in the higher adoption of circuit protection devices to prevent system failures. With 100 years of rich experience, OBO Bettermann stands for tradition and innovation, offering standard-compliant lightning protection components.
Clients demand the safety and protection of installed products built following the latest safety standards. Importantly they expect SPDs concerning their voltage protection level and maximum continuous operating voltage. Established in 1911, OBO Bettermann has achieved many milestones, like pioneering in developing the first connectable type two surge protection device with VDE test mark or type one lightning current arrester with carbon technology. It was the first manufacturer to publish a guide to lightning protection in the 1950s and, till now, offers a unique, comprehensive product range. OBO India was established in 2008, and its state-of-the-art manufacturing facility produces Cable Trays and Underfloor boxes per the latest IEC/BIS standards.
OBO Bettermann always meets customer expectations & follows required installation practices as recommended by the standards. “With a rich history of innovation and technical expertise OBO Bettermann is a natural choice to many customers worldwide and also in India for Lightning and Surge protection systems,” says Arul Prakash, Managing Director, OBO Bettermann India.
Protecting People, Buildings and Property
OBO Bettermann offers all types of modern electrical installations possible, integrating seamlessly and elegantly into the architecture of a building. OBO can offer the proper selection of products, depending on the application and scope of protection. Its lightning and surge voltage protection systems are perfectly matched to one another and the requirements in the different zones – from the air-termination device, which must arrest the entire energy of a lightning strike, through to satisfactory power protection, which eliminates the last voltage peaks directly in front of a terminal. The company offers four protection levels: Air-termination and conductor systems, Earthing Systems, Equipotential bonding systems, and Surge protection systems. It also offers specialized protection systems to process industries where surge protection devices play a vital role in protecting signal and communication lines with different BUS protocols. The company provides SPDs with failure indication and a remote monitoring system for locations where monitoring is challenging.
OBO Bettermann aims to create awareness among the customers about installing the best lightning and surge protection systems conforming to the latest international standards
“OBO Bettermann aims to be the first port of call for the most innovative electrical and data connection infrastructure systems,” speaks Arul Prakash OBO Bettermann supports and drives the development of national and international lightning protection standards of the series IEC 62305. Through its membership in VDB (Association of German Lightning Protection Companies) and the VDE Committee for Lightning Protection and Research, it is always up to date with the latest insights from the world of science and lightning protection practice. With the primary consideration to make every process or product contribute to the environment, sustainability has been a core value for the OBO brand.
OBO Bettermann aims to create awareness among the customers about installing the best lightning and surge protection systems conforming to the latest international standards. With the global experience, OBO is fully geared up to provide solutions to any challenging installations across India.
