Process Control Signal Surge Protector LP-V36

Model LP-V5 / LP-V12 / LP-V24 / LP-V36

DIN rail signal surge protector (LP-V series, 5–36 V) for automation and process control instrument loops, protecting both sides of 2-wire current loop equipment with 20 kA maximum discharge current and ≤ 0.3 dB insertion loss.

Overview

About the Process Control Signal Surge Protector LP-V36 LP-V5 / LP-V12 / LP-V24 / LP-V36.

The LP-V36 is a signal surge protector designed for automation and process control instrument systems. Installed in the signal line, it protects the equipment on both sides, and its built-in arrester also suits transmission systems that use current loops. It absorbs the surge only, without affecting the instrument signal. The LP-V series covers rated working voltages of 5, 12, 24 and 36 V, with a modular housing that mounts on a 35 mm DIN rail and connects through terminal blocks with a built-in earthing terminal.

Features

  • Built-in earthing terminal with strong wiring capacity
  • Modular design for 35 mm DIN rail mounting
  • High current capacity: 20 kA maximum discharge current (8/20 µs)
  • Low output residual voltage
  • Absorbs surges without affecting the instrument signal
  • Flame-retardant nylon enclosure (V0)

Models

  • LP-V5: rated voltage 5 V, Uc 8 V, Up < 50 V
  • LP-V12: rated voltage 12 V, Uc 18 V, Up < 50 V
  • LP-V24: rated voltage 24 V, Uc 36 V, Up < 80 V
  • LP-V36: rated voltage 36 V, Uc 54 V, Up < 80 V

Applications

  • Automation and process control instrument systems
  • 2-wire current loop instruments
  • Signal transmission lines

Installation

  • For effective protection, the earth-link resistance must be below 5 Ω
