  Rated for 230V operation to match common supply systems
  EMC surge protection type suited to electromagnetic Pulse events
  Panel-mount configuration enables secure front- or rear-panel installation
  Operational range from -40 °C to 85 °C supports harsh environments
  Certified to IEC 61643-21 ensuring standardised performance assessment

Applications

• Suitable for protection of automation controllers in switchgear panels
  Ideal for safeguarding industrial electronics against lightning strikes
  Used with power distribution modules in manufacturing facilities
  Can be used for transient protection of communication interfaces in control cabinets

How is the unit typically installed in a control panel?

It is designed for panel-mount fixing, allowing direct attachment to panel cut-outs or mounting brackets for Compact integration within electrical enclosures.

What environmental conditions can it withstand during continuous operation?

The device is rated to operate across a wide temperature span from -40 °C up to 85 °C, accommodating cold storage areas and heat-generating equipment rooms.

Which standard verifies its surge protection performance?

Its compliance is assessed against IEC 61643-21, which covers requirements and testing methods for surge protective devices for low-voltage distribution.

How does it address EMP-type disturbances specifically?

The suppressor is configured as an EMP protector, providing targeted mitigation of short-duration, high-energy electromagnetic transients to reduce equipment upset and damage.
