(lightning strokes) or switching operations in the supply network. Further causes can be inductive or capacitive couplings from other electrical systems. Voltage peaks (transients) must be expected espe- cially when long power supply and signal cables are used. B62-30W • For Profibus PA and Foundation Fieldbus circuits...
3 Product description Such voltage surges can cause damage to sensors and controllers. The VEGA overvoltage arrester reduces voltage surges on the supply or signal cables to a safe level. They are designed for mounting on carrier rail according to EN 50 022/EN 50 035 in the switching cabinet or in a metal or plastic housing close to the sensor.
