DEHNguard S ... VA FM: Modular single-pole surge arrester with a varistor connected in series with a spark gap in the pluggable protection module; with remote signalling contact for monitoring device (floating changeover contact)
Details
Multifunctional terminals allow almost unlimited flexibility of connection to one another, but also to other DIN rail mounted devices on the distribution board. However, it is not only flexibility that characterises the DEHNguard S ... VA family. Its distinctive performance parameters set standards worldwide:
A high discharge capacity, complete absence of leakage currents, a low voltage protection level and the dual "Thermo Dynamic Control" monitoring and disconnection device describe the high degree of reliability.
The DEHN-specific "Thermo Dynamic Control" disconnector ensures that the arresters enter a safe and isolated state, even in case of extreme overload. For this purpose, the surface temperature of the heavy-duty varistor and the intensity of the discharge current are used for evaluation. In addition to the standard visual indication with red and green indicator flags, the DEHNguard S VA ... FM devices feature a three-pole remote signalling terminal. With its floating changeover contact, the remote signal can be used as break or make contact according to the particular protection concept.
