Mersen Surge Protection & Filters
Mersen’s surge protectors and filters prevent transient overvoltage, noise, and power disturbances from affecting the reliability and availability of sensitive electrical and electronic systems. They are typically used in industrial automation and power distribution applications such as process control, renewable energy, transportation, or data processing, where lightning, switching surges, or electromagnetic interference could cause equipment failure or disruption. Mersen’s surge protectors and filters ensure continuity of service and prevent long-term degradation of system performance.
Surge protection devices are used to shunt or clamp transient voltage surges to a safe level before they can damage equipment. Common applications include: service entrance protection; distribution panel protection; control panel and automation cabinet protection for PLCs, HMIs, power supplies, AC drives and communication equipment. Their fast response time and high energy absorption capability minimize equipment failure and prolong lifespan.
FAQs
What are Mersen surge protection devices used for?
Mersen surge protection devices are used to protect industrial electrical and electronic equipment from transient voltage spikes caused by lightning, switching events, and power disturbances.
Where are Mersen surge protection devices commonly installed?
They are commonly installed at service entrances, power distribution panels, control panels, and near sensitive equipment such as PLCs, HMIs, power supplies, drives, and communication devices.
What do Mersen power line filters do?
Mersen power line filters reduce electrical noise such as EMI and RFI on power lines, helping prevent interference-related faults and improving the reliability of industrial automation systems.
Why are surge protection and filters important in industrial systems?
They are important because industrial systems rely on sensitive electronics that can be damaged or disrupted by voltage spikes and electrical noise, leading to downtime and equipment failure.
How do Mersen surge protection and filters improve system reliability?
By limiting overvoltage events and suppressing electrical noise, Mersen surge protection and filters help prevent equipment damage, reduce errors, and support long-term stable operation.
