The megatrends of our time act as a catalyst for advancing global electrification: from the expansion of renewable energies and the modernisation of buildings to a growing demand for data centres, which require increasingly powerful infrastructure. Protection concepts that consider lightning and surge protection alongside occupational safety are essential for seamless operation. At Light + Building 2026 in Frankfurt, DEHN will present a 360° approach that combines holistic solutions in the form of consulting, planning, engineering services and bespoke analogue and digital products. From 8 to 13 March 2026, visitors to the exhibition can discover their ideal protection solution at booth B90 in hall 12.0.

Digitalisation, networked systems and automation are rendering modern electrical installations increasingly complex. The rising proportion of renewable energy sources in the grid is changing its parameters in terms of short-circuit behaviour and protection technology, creating fresh challenges for planners and installers. With the new DEHNventil ACI M TNS 264 FM, DEHN is the first supplier to launch an arrester for Type 1 applications based on its ACI (Advanced Circuit Interruption) technology. The specialist for lightning and surge protection and safety equipment is thus expanding its established ACI portfolio for Type 2 arresters to create a comprehensive product family which fulfils the increasingly stringent requirements on surge protection in the field of electrical installation and planning.

Long connection cables, which cause inductive voltage drops in switchgear cabinets, often pose a challenge for installers. DEHN solves this problem with an innovative advancement of its proven connection technologies. With the new double screw technology in the Type 2 + 3 surge protective device series DEHNguard MD, the company is once again confirming its pioneering role. This technology complements the existing screw and push-in connection terminal and enables the wiring of different types of conductors. The feed-through wiring option also offers even greater flexibility in terms of electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) for applications with a nominal current of up to 63 A.

The safe integration of hydrogen technologies into existing and new infrastructures is crucial for a future with climate-neutral energy. DEHN's protection solutions make an important contribution to the stability and efficiency of hydrogen supply systems. From October 21 to 23, 2025, the leading provider of lightning and surge protection solutions and safety equipment will be showcasing its customised protection concepts for hydrogen applications at the Hydrogen Technology World Expo (Booth 5A30, Hall B5). The focus will be on solutions for hydrogen refuelling stations and power-to-X applications such as electrolysers, which ensure seamless and standard-compliant operation in hazardous areas.

Under the slogan 'Vision ZERO: Your path to electrical safety', DEHN will be presenting a broad range of products and solutions for comprehensive work safety at A+A 2025 in Düsseldorf. From 4 to 7 November, DEHN will be demonstrating how innovative solutions, digital services and practical applications can ensure greater safety in the workplace at stand B59 in hall 14.

Global electrification is the main driver of business for the family-owned company DEHN. The expansion of renewable energies, the growing share of electric vehicles, the necessary infrastructure, data centres and much more require products and solutions from the specialist for lightning protection, surge protection and safety equipment. The new production site in Piteşti, Romania, expands capacities for customers in Europe. The plant fits seamlessly into the company's existing global production network. "Piteşti gives us the flexibility we need to supply our customers in Europe even better," says Dr Philipp Dehn, CEO DEHN SE. "The plant underscores our internationalisation efforts and creates future-proof jobs in the greater Bucharest area."

The global demand for energy is increasing year upon year. The momentum behind the expansion of renewable energies is particularly strong. However, in addition to generating energy, the necessary infrastructure for its distribution and utilisation must also be established and protected. DEHN will be demonstrating how this can be achieved at "The smarter E Europe" in Munich from 7 to 9 May. Under the motto "Maximize your uptime - we drive your systems' protection", the specialist for lightning and surge protection and safety equipment will be presenting protection solutions for photovoltaics, smart grids, battery storage and e-mobility in Hall A3, Stand 120.

Safety in the workplace is a key concern for energy suppliers just as it is in modern industry. Voltage alarms / electrical field detectors play an important role. The DEHNsense EFD electrical field detector warns of the dangers of electric current visually, acoustically and by vibration when it detects a critical AC voltage, thus alerting the user in good time before entering the danger zone. As an additional measure to the 5 safety rules, the detector significantly increases safety when working on electrical systems. Accidents caused by human error – such as when an electrically skilled person accidentally approaches the wrong energised switchgear installation – can be avoided. The DEHNsense EFD can be used in indoor installations and outdoors even in wet weather (IP degree of protection 65). The detector is easy to operate and can be worn variably on the wrist over the glove or on the helmet.

DEHN, the leading provider of lightning and surge protection solutions, presents DEHNcharge T1 BATT 1500 FM, a combined arrester for battery storage systems up to 1,500 V DC. Large-scale battery storage systems play a key role in the modern energy landscape. They enable the efficient storage and supply of energy from renewable sources such as wind and solar energy. To ensure the reliability and longevity of these storage technologies, effective protection against overvoltages is essential. Lightning strikes or switching operations in the grid cause surges that can damage sensitive electronic components in storage systems. Appropriate protective measures are therefore crucial to avoid failures and high repair costs. Sophisticated surge protection safeguards your investment in storage technology and contributes to the stability of the power grid.
