Signal Surge Protector LP-C/TER

The LP-C/TER signal surge protector is a DIN-rail lightning arrester for control signals and twisted-pair data lines. It protects connected equipment from permanent damage or transient interruption caused by inductive overvoltage, overcurrent and other transient surge voltages from lightning and industrial noise. Its multi-protection technology handles a nominal discharge current of 5 kA line to line and line to ground, while keeping the insertion loss at or below 0.5 dB. Four versions cover rated operating voltages of 5 V, 12 V, 24 V and 48 V, for 4–20 mA loops and RS232, RS422 and RS485 links.

Features

• Mounts on a standard 35 mm DIN rail for easy installation
• Multi-protection technology for strong protection and high reliability
• Built-in 4 mm lifting grounding terminal for strong wiring capability and reliable grounding
• Nominal discharge current 5 kA (8/20 µs), line to line and line to ground
• Transmission rate up to 16 MHz with insertion loss of 0.5 dB or less
• Compact, flexible housing in flame-retardant reinforced nylon (UL 94 V-0)
• Operating temperature −40 … 80 °C

Applications

• 4–20 mA control signal loops
• Twisted-pair data lines: RS232, RS422 and RS485
• Instrument and control circuits exposed to lightning-induced surges and industrial noise
