The DS240-230/G Type 2 surge protector
Product.Nr. DS240/G
The DS240 Type 2 surge protectors are compact devices designed to , protect single phase networks at the main switchboard. They provide a , common or common/differential mode protection. This SPD is based on high, energy varistor equipped with thermal disconnectors and failure , indicator to comply with standards. The DS240 is DIN rail compatible and, is built with a plug-in module and fixed base, which allows an easy and, fast maintenance., Compact single-phase Type 2 surge protector In : 20 kA Imax : 40 kA Common/Differential mode Pluggable module Remote signaling option EN 61643-11, CEI 61643-11 compliance
product description
The DS240-230/G Type 2 surge protector
AC voltage in a sine wave, as is generated in power plants, is a , problem-free affair, in and of itself. But unfortunately, this sine wave, is often garbled by the time it reaches the end user. Spikes and , distortion of the wave can lead to superimposed voltages, higher , frequencies or upper harmonics, which not every electronic device can , handle. Another problem is €˜transient surges€™. These are extremely short, surges lasting thousandths of a second, but which can very , significantly exceed the maximum voltage value (up to 2,000V). Since , they create a spicular deformation of the sine wave, they are also , called €˜spikes€™. These are caused either by a lightning strike to the , mains or, much more frequently, by the switching on and off of certain , loads, including inductive loads. Spikes are especially dangerous for , electronic devices and may damage or completely destroy them.,, LED lights and LED lamps always have an electronic component (both AC , and DC supply) and are surge protected by special electronic circuits. , However, the electronics are virtually powerless against surge spikes, , which can destroy them. Surge arresters are the solution to this , problem, and can be switched on in the LED load€™s circuit, thereby , providing safe surge protection. We therefore recommend that you protect, your LED lighting, to keep them bright and lit for a long time to come!
