Leading global electrical engineering manufacturer and innovator, Phoenix Contact, has revolutionised surge protection devices for Measurement and Control Technology (MCR) and extra low voltage applications with the release of its new Termitrab Complete Range.
The new range offers the world’s narrowest surge protection solution.
At just 3.5mm, this device is ultra slim and compact. The use of leading edge components in the 3.5mm arrester means technicians can now build smaller systems to protect analogue and digital signals transmitted using MCR as well as gain valuable installation space for system planning and save money.
Also, the 3.5mm devices provide the highest density for system expansion on the Din-rail, and technicians can quickly and easily expand their systems to protect up to 572 MCR signals per metre.
The 3.5mm arrester is available as a push-in model, while the 6.2mm Termitrab arresters provide technicians with considerable choice.
They can choose from versions with screw or push-in connections, knife disconnections, pluggable arrestors, and Ex approval, to meet their individual requirements.
No auxiliary power needed
The 6.2mm arrester models also feature an integrated status indicator that lets technicians see when the unit has reached its end of life and requires replacing.
Better still, the indicator on the surge protection device does not require any auxiliary power.
And during the disconnection process, the measuring signal is unaffected, to help ensure the ongoing reliability of the system.
Technicians can also choose to install the optional, low cost, remote signalling module to remotely detect overloaded surge protective devices and maintain the integrity of their system.
The module is easy to retrofit and does not require any programming or additional wiring. It uses a photoelectric barrier to monitor the status of up to 40 adjacent protective devices and a floating contact transmits the status to the control room.
The new Termitrab Complete range delivers outstanding reliability and durability. To ensure each device is robust and can perform, the arresters undergo testing in Phoenix Contact’s accredited test lab.
More than 130 models
The comprehensive tests include surge current tests, vibration and temperature tests as well as salt spray and corrosive gas testing. The devices meet SIL 3 and IEC 61508.
For additional peace of mind, all Phoenix Contact pluggable surge protective devices can be tested with the Phoenix Contact mobile test lab.
The Termitrab Complete range has over 130 models and includes the ultra narrow 3.5mm, to simple, single-stage 6mm surge protection units, right through to multi-stage devices.
The extensive range is suitable for 12, 24 and 48V systems as well as RTD, Tc and serial communications.
The portfolio of Termitrab Complete arresters is ideal for use in process technology, wind power, water and wastewater treatment, building services and infrastructure.
