DEHNsupport Toolbox 3.2

DEHNsupport Toolbox is a planning software for lightning protection systems that offers various calculation options in the field of lightning protection, from risk management to the calculation of the length of air terminal rods, separation distances and the length of earth electrodes. DEHNsupport, a product of DEHNsupport , provides easy and practical electronic planning and decision support for planners, installers of lightning protection systems and electricians. This makes the professional implementation of a comprehensive lightning protection system considerably easier.

SPD Tool

The DEHNsupport Toolbox software has been expanded with another module and now also offers comprehensive support for planning internal lightning and lightning protection. The new DEHNselect SPD software module allows the definition and selection of all internal lightning and lightning protection products. The program provides a structured plan with bill of materials and allows quick online access to all documents for the selected products, such as data sheets and installation instructions.

As a result of international requirements, the software is available in multiple languages ​​and includes country-specific regulatory adaptations.

The DEHN Support Toolbox consists of the following modules:

DEHN Risk Management Tool (Distance Tool Module)

DEHN Risk Tool (Risk Management)

DEHN Distance Tool Module (Separation Distance Calculation)

DEHN Air-Termination Tool (calculation of air-termination rod length)

DEHN Earthing Tool (Earth Electrode Length Calculation)

DEHNselect SPD Tool module (guide to selection and dimensioning of protective devices)

The DEHNsupport software is defined based on the following international standards and calculation parameters:

Calculate the risk.

With the DEHN Risk Tool you create a risk analysis. Assess the potential risk of buildings or structures, taking into account the characteristics and purpose of the building. Here, specific protective measures can be taken to reduce the risk. For risk analysis in an international context, you plan based on country-specific standards and regulations and the corresponding calculation values.

Calculate the separation distance.

With the DEHN Distance Tool module you determine the appropriate separation distance to comply with standards using calculations based on nodal analysis. Templates for various building types are available to save you time and effort.

Calculate the separation distance.

Calculate the length of the air-termination rods.

With the DEHN Air-Termination Tool you can calculate the length of the air-termination rods depending on the LPS class according to IEC 62305-3. The dimensions of the protected areas are calculated depending on the height of the air-termination rod.

Calculate the separation distance.

Calculate the length of the earth electrodes.

With the DEHN Earthing Tool you calculate the required length of the earth electrodes, taking into account the type of earth electrode and the soil resistance.

Selection and dimensions of surge protective devices

Calculate the separation distance.

You can choose surge protection devices without any prior knowledge or training. This is a quick and easy way to find the right lightning and lightning protection products for your project.
