Furse Surge Protection and Earthing Solutions

Furse, part of ABB Group, is a leader in earthing and lightning protection and offers a comprehensive range of surge protection products specifically designed for the rail industry. Rail networks are particularly vulnerable to voltage surges caused by lightning strikes or switching operations, which can disrupt operations, damage critical equipment, and compromise safety. Furse surge protection devices (SPDs) are engineered to mitigate these risks, ensuring the reliability of key rail systems, including signalling, power supplies, and communication infrastructure.

Furse surge protection solutions meet rigorous rail industry standards, providing robust and reliable protection for both AC and DC power systems. These SPDs are easy to install and maintain, reducing downtime and operational disruptions. Built for long-term performance, Furse products are designed to withstand harsh environmental conditions commonly found in rail environments, such as extreme temperatures and vibrations.

Furse also holds Network Rail approval for a wide range of earthing products that ensure safe and reliable earthing for signalling power supply installations in compliance with NR/L2/SIGELP/27418 – Design, Installation, and Testing of Earthing in Signalling Power Systems. The product range includes conductors, earth electrodes, inspection housings, clamps, earthing compounds, and installation accessories, suitable for both new installations and improvements to existing infrastructure.

By integrating Furse SPDs and earthing solutions into rail networks, operators can safeguard against costly downtime and extend equipment lifespan, enhancing overall operational efficiency, safety, and reliability. This ensures that modern rail systems meet stringent demands, delivering uninterrupted service for passengers and cargo alike.
