Tridelta Meidensha

For more than 60 years, we have been producing top-quality surge arresters at our Hermsdorf site in the green heart of Germany. The company can look back on a history of more than 100 years.

Today, Tridelta surge arresters stand for best quality, high reliability and freedom from maintenance over the entire service life worldwide.

Our portfolio of metal oxide arresters for system voltages from 1 kV to 800 kV is supplemented by arresters for customer-specific special applications.

Our arresters are successfully in use in over 120 countries around the world and have proven themselves even under extreme climatic conditions. In addition to the use of first-class components, we see the readiness for action and the high reliability of our team as a guarantee for success.

Meidensha Surge arresters

Meidensha has pioneered many new technologies, including the development of the world’s first metal oxide surge arrestor (MOSA) for electrical systems in 1975, which set new industrial standards for power system protection and was awarded an IEEE Milestone in 2014.

R&D Center for Metal Oxide Blocks

Metal oxide blocks are at the heart of surge arrester technology. Meidensha pioneered the development of metal oxide blocks for surge arresters in 1972. Drawing on this experience, Meidensha manufactures high quality, high performance blocks in various sizes for AC and DC applications and different installation environments.

T&D Business

Meidensha also manufactures T&D equipment such as transformers, vacuum circuit breakers, vacuum interrupters, high-voltage switchgear, mobile substations, etc., including the use of energy management systems (EMS).

Occupational safety and environmental protection

For the health of our employees, we always attach great importance to a safe working environment. We therefore provide our employees with personal protective equipment, constantly train first aiders and rehearse what to do in various situations in the event of an emergency.

We only have our earth once. That’s why we at Tridelta Meidensha are committed to our environment through various projects. For example, we supported a local beekeeper in 2021, instruct colleagues in water and energy-saving measures, and try to create more awareness of environmental issues among our employees.
