Electrical Panel Surge Protection

Phoenix Contact offers surge protection devices (SPD) for remote site location, service entrance and sub panel.

Remote Site (Lightning Current)
Remote sites are facilities or structures that contain electrical or electronic processes and located in hard to reach areas. the high cost of service and the long mean time to repair require higher level of surge protection. The requirements are the ability to handle multiple high energy surge events, such as lightning without compromising the surge protection. Even if the surge protection device is damaged, the equipment must still be protected from future surges until a repair can be performed. This dual stage device provide notification when the protection level reaches 50%.

Service Entrance
Surge protection at service entrance provides the first level of defense against external surges. It creates a barrier to protect wiring and equipment within the facility. It offers noise filtering and additional features such as a surge counter and audible alarm.

Sub-Panel protection is an important part of a cascade protection plan. It reduces internally generated surges which are created in an industrial environment. Surge protection devices at sub panel are an important part of maintaining a high quality of power within a facility.
