Device protection without backup fuse

The new type 3 surge protection Plugtrab PLT-SEC from Phoenix Contact features a newly developed disconnect device. The devices provide increased safety in the case of electrical and thermal overload, regardless of the backup fuse installed. Thanks to the Safe Energy Control technology, the protective devices are particularly durable. The protected end devices are subject to less strain than in standard installations.

Due to the integrated, surge-current-proof fuses, remote installations do not require any protective device backup fuses. The surge protective devices are used in applications with load currents of up to 26 A. They are suitable for AC and DC applications.

An easy-to-read status indicator and floating remote indication contact keep you informed about the status of the product at all times. Recurring inspections of the protective devices can also be carried out quickly and easily with the Checkmaster 2 test device.
