When voltage surges occur, massive, irreparable damage can be caused to any, or all, electrical equipment within the building: fire and security systems, computers, telephone circuits, etc.
Designed to offer a choice of protecting DC or AC single or three phase systems the new products can also be installed for buildings with or without external lightning protection.
All units are based on the 17.5 mm modular format for space saving and can be mounted on din rail providing easy installation and maintenance. Each device is pluggable for rapid replacement, without disconnecting the wiring and disturbing the cabling, reducing costly downtime to zero in the event of a system fault.
Solar electric panels are becoming more popular, for generating electricity, and there is a major government initiative for Local Authorities to incorporate them into their buildings. Photovoltaic Panels are normally installed on the roof, being a sound environmental decision, but if unprotected, can be at risk in the event of a lightning strike, TRABTECH can remove this threat to the system.
Phoenix Contact is one of the world leaders in developing and manufacturing interconnect and automation components. Its principal product ranges include: printed circuit board connectors; modular terminal blocks; fieldbus components; surge voltage protection systems; industrial plug and socket connectors and interface units. In all of these areas, Phoenix Contact combines proven expertise with innovative, value for money products.
