Transtector DRDC 48VDC DIN Rail Surge Protector

The DRDC Series Din-Rail surge suppressors are modular, high-speed, high-current, solid-state devices designed to protect electronic equipment and systems from transient overvoltages. The suppressor limits the magnitude of transient overvoltages that may occur on low voltage DC power lines, 4-20mA current loops or low frequency data lines. Data lines that benefit from DRDC suppression include: Ethernet, RS485/232, Profibus, Foundation Fieldbus, DH+ or DeviceNet.

The DRDC Series surge suppressors utilize only silicon avalanche suppression diodes (SASD). The suppressor provides continuous, bipolar protection and automatically resets after a surge event with no degradation to its protection capabilities.

The suppressor includes a removable module with a base that mounts on standard 35mm DIN (EN5022) rail. The suppressor size and form factor allows for convenient replacement of existing terminal blocks. The suppressor connects in a series (pass-through) configuration, the screw terminals accept two wire pairs (28 - 12AWG), and the device is rated for up to 10A of continuous current. Note: The DRDC surge suppressor REQUIRES that the DIN rail have a low impedance path to Earth ground.

The DRDC Series suppressors are approved for hazardous locations that require a rating of
