Phoenix Contact Surge Protection & Filters
Phoenix Contact offers a range of surge protection and filter products that protect industrial electrical and electronic equipment against transient voltages, electrical noise, and power disturbances. The products are applied in a variety of industries and applications including automation, power distribution, process control, and infrastructure to protect against lightning and switching surges as well as electromagnetic interference. They help to prevent equipment damage and downtime as well as extend the service life of electrical equipment.
Surge protection Phoenix Contact's surge protection products absorb and divert voltage transients to protect equipment from damage. They are applied at service entrances, power distribution panels, control panels, automation cabinets, as well as on PLCs, HMIs, power supplies, drives, communication devices, and other sensitive electronic devices. They are designed to rapidly respond to voltage transients and help to eliminate equipment failures and downtime.
Power line filters Phoenix Contact power line filters reduce electromagnetic interference (EMI) and radio frequency interference (RFI) on power and signal lines. EMI and RFI disturbances can affect equipment performance by altering signals and disrupting control systems. Power filters can help to improve the quality of power and signals and stabilize the operation of electrical equipment. EMI and RFI disturbances are especially prevalent in environments with variable frequency drives, switching power supplies, and a high level of electrical load switching activity.
FAQs
What are Phoenix Contact surge protection devices used for?
Phoenix Contact surge protection devices are used to protect industrial electrical and electronic equipment from transient voltage spikes caused by lightning, switching events, and power disturbances.
