A delimitation unit () for a pipe section (), in particular a pipe section () of a pipeline (), comprises at least one protective component (), a control unit () for controlling the protective component (), and a communication unit () for communicating with a remote monitoring station (). The communication unit () is arranged to receive at least one control command from the monitoring station (). The control unit () is arranged to operate the protective components () in different operating modes to maintain the voltage of the pipe section () below at least one limit value, and to change the operating modes due to the control command received by the communication unit (). Furthermore, a pipeline system () and a method of operating a pipeline system () are shown.

The invention relates to a method for evaluating the state and the quality of low-voltage networks, in the branched system of which there is a plurality of connected loads, by determining network measurement data by means of power quality measuring and testing devices and transferring the network measurement data, by means of a standard interface, to a control system or in retrievable form to a server. According to the invention, the overvoltage protection devices, which are or can be used in the low-voltage system and have a self-diagnosis unit and an existing wireless or wired standard interface for data transfer, are able to determine network measurement data by means of integrated or adapted power quality measuring and testing devices.

The invention relates to an encapsulated surge protection device capable of carrying lightning currents and limiting follow currents and comprising at least one spark gap, which has in each case at least two main electrodes and one auxiliary electrode, which is connected to a starting device for triggering in the event of transient surges. The invention provides a second starting device which is independent of the first starting device and which can activate the spark gap without the need for the presence of surges or pulse currents on the basis of the presence of a minimum voltage between the main electrodes of the spark gap.

The invention relates to an overvoltage protection device with a short-circuit function for protecting installations and persons for low-voltage installations, wherein at least one overvoltage protection element and a thermally activatable short-circuit device are arranged in a common housing. The device is designed to be inserted into an NH fuse part, and the common housing is designed with contact blades so as to be spatially analogous to a NH fuse link.

The invention relates to a method and an arrangement for the surge protection of inverters for photovoltaic systems, comprising at least one surge protection device which is physically integrated in the inverter or can be found in the vicinity of the inverter. The at least one surge protection device is connected to the DC side of the inverter. According to the invention, the inverter supplies a signal for setting or tracking the operating point at an operating level in the maximum power point (MPP) range, the response voltage of the surge protection device being predetermined, set, or selected on the basis of said signal.

The invention relates to a plug-in combination of appliances for protecting against overvoltages, said combination of appliances comprising: a socket-type lower part and at least one plug-in module, which can both receive overvoltage protection elements; contact elements and contact counter elements that are respectively arranged in the lower part and in the plug-in module; and complementary guide rails or guide grooves for inserting or pushing-on and fixing the respective plug-in module. According to the invention, functionally separated, mechanical catch or snap-in elements act between the respective plug-in module and the socket-type lower part independently of the forces which hold together the contact elements and the contact counter elements in a positively fixed and/or non-positively fixed manner when the plug-in module is in use. The catch or snap-in function can be cancelled without any mechanical auxiliary means when the respective plug-in module is to be replaced.
