Details
The patented RADAX Flow technology for follow current limitation and extinction allows high availability of the electrical consumer's installation to be protected. Even in case of short-circuit currents as high as 100 kArms, mains follow currents are reduced in such a way that selectivity with respect to low-current-rated fuses is ensured. This means that upstream fuses will not trip due to upcoming mains follow currents.
The operating state / fault indicator of each protective path needs no power to operate and instantly shows the operating state of the surge arrester. Apart from the standard visual indicator with green and red indicator flags, DEHNventil M ... FM devices feature a three-pole remote signalling terminal. With its floating changeover contact, the remote signal can be used as a break or make contact according to the particular circuit concept.
Due to their parameters and design, the devices can be even installed upstream of meter panels in low-voltage consumer's installations.
