MOV Protection Keeps Current Steady in Our DIN-Rail Mount DC Surge Protectors
A lightning strike lasts only a fraction of a second. But its effects can linger much, much longer for a data center or a communications base station with inadequate lightning surge protection.
Electrical equipment damage is sometimes caused by an initial lightning strike, which comes down at 200,000 mph with a punch of about 300 million volts, according to the U.S. National Weather Service. But damage can also result from the cumulative effect of daily events and conditions such as high-powered devices being switched on and off, faulty wiring and overloaded outlets.
MOV Protection
Transtector offers a line of indoor surge protectors that can handle both lightning strikes and the smaller fluctuations caused by daily DC power transients. At the heart of our I2R-T2DC series of DIN-rail mount DC surge protectorsare high-capacity metal oxide varistor (MOV) circuits. They immediately provide a low-impedance path to route the high voltage away from sensitive equipment. When the high voltage subsides, they return back to their normal high-impedance state, waiting to protect against the next strike.
Options for Tailoring to Your Needs
There are about a dozen models in our I2R-T2DC series of DIN-rail mount DC surge protectors, so you can find the one that is best for your requirements. They cover a wide range of operating voltages, from 48 to 1,500 Vdc. They accommodate three surge protection modes based on your electrical service. These DC surge protectors are compact, about the size of your fist, and you can mount them on any standard DIN rail, perhaps inside an equipment rack or cabinet where they are near circuit breakers or industrial control equipment. Also, you can monitor their status both onsite and remotely.
Wide Applications
Transtector’s DIN-rail DC surge protectors are ideal for use in telecom networks (tiers 1, 2 and 3), clean energy networks and industrial sites. They are also perfect for communications base stations, photovoltaic power systems, IT and data centers, and utilities.
