3DH Energy Solutions, the power and energy solutions arm of the 3DH International Group, launched Mersen Surge Arrestors at a launch event held at the Movenpick Hotel Colombo recently.

Based in France, Mersen is a global leader in overvoltage protection devices and offers a comprehensive line of surge protection devices, components and systems.


The surge arrester devices launched by 3DH are primarily for PV solar systems and telecommunication towers.


The Mersen surge arresters guaranteed protection from power surges caused by lightning strikes.


In the event of a lightning strike, the short response time of the device ensures that all the electrical equipment within the premises iswell-protected.
