Commerce trade and industry, national and local institutions, and the private household as well depend to an ever increasing extent on electronic equipment and information technology systems.
Failures of such highly sensitive systems are frequently caused by electrostatic discharges, switching overvoltages or overvoltages due to lightning strikes. Damage caused, in particular, by thunderstorm overvoltages have shown in the past years that electronic systems are at risk through electromagnetic fields and line-fed overvoltages at a distance of up to 1.5km from the point of the lightning strike.
