About us
Since more than 50 years we manufacture top quality surge arresters in our factory in Hermsdorf/Germany.
At the same time our company looks back to a history of more than 100 years.
Today TRIDELTA Surge Arresters stand for worldwide best quality, highest reliability and free of maintenance over their whole service life. Our portfolio of metaloxide surge arresters for system voltages from 1 kV up to 800 kV is completed by customized arrester solutions for special applications.
Our surge arresters are in reliable service in more than 120 countries worldwide and prove successfully their duty even under the most severe climatic conditions.
Since 2015 Tridelta is part of Meiden Corporation with Headquarters in Japan.
